Dear list,
This morning I stumbled upon a strange problem. Mail delivery to an
exchange backend did not work:
refused to talk to me: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address)
After some troubleshooting an googling I found
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291828.
When using the contents of a file for the smtp_helo_name (or with e.g.
myorigin) it appends a '.' to the end of the hostname. And according
to the rfc this isn't allowed.
Why is postfix appending the . ?
Postfix as released from postfix.org does not support
smtp_helo_name from file.
Dear Wietse,
I can now see I was not clear in my explanation. But I made a mistake.
The problem was that I said that myhostname=/etc/mailname and this
does not work as I thought!
Thanks
