I have a mail server the receives email from a website. The website uses
Amazon SES to send its email out. This email gets sent to
somebody@HOST_A address. Then, the email client on the server has a
filter installed to forward to a local address and then to an email
address on another adrees, somebody@HOST_B.
The problem is that postfix server at HOST_B is rejecting the forwarded
emails coming from HOST_A with a "Message rejected due to: SPF fail -
not authorized."
I'm thinking the easiest solution is to just rewrite the "from" header
on HOST_A before sending it off to HOST_B.
So I followed the instructions at
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#generic for generic
mapping and set that up. I modified main.cf with:
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_generic_map
and have this in the smtp_generic_maps file:
*@amazonses.com somebody@HOST_A
I also tried:
/*@amazonses.com/ somebody@HOST_A
Anyway, I postmapped and reloaded postfix. However, emails are still
getting rejected and logs on HOST_B show emails are still coming from
amazonses.com.
Anything else I can try?
