I have a network device that I am trying to have logs sent to my mail
server via my postfix mail gateway. When trying to send a test e-mail I
get the following error in my maillog file:
/postfix/smtpd[17063]: warning: Illegal address syntax from
device.domain.com[xxx.yyy.zzz.9] in MAIL command: dev...@domain.com
<mailto:dev...@domain.com>/
[please post in plain-text only]
The above is a warning only, stating the device doesn't speak
SMTP. Get a better device.
Postfix accepts such garbage in order to be compatible with
poorly implemented software.

If the message is rejected, there will be a separate log entry
with details of why the message was rejected.
