Hello,
I'm running a mailing list (using GNU
Mailman) and occasionally the
list receives mail having headers with
email addresses that have no @domain part.
(I don't know why, and it's out of my
hands in any case.)
When the list software resends the mail
to the list Postfix re-writes the email
addreses and appends @mylocaldomain to them.
I don't want this.
To prevent the rewriting I've told the list software
to deliver mail to an smtpd process on
127.0.0.2, and added lines like this
to master.cf:
mypublicip:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
127.0.0.1:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
127.0.0.2:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o local_header_rewrite_clients=permit_tls_clientcerts -o
relay_clientcerts=
In other words, I've told postfix not to rewrite header
addresses when the server is running on 127.0.0.2,
by only rewriting clients that tls authenticate and then
making it impossible to authenticate.
This seems clunky. In more than one way.
Is there a better approach?
I can't seem to control what address GNU Mailman
binds to when it sends mail with SMTP. I can
only control the IP of the server it talks to.
I can tell Mailman to send using sendmail
rather than SMTP, but I don't know how that
would help.
Thanks.
