Hello All,
smartd can not successful complete sending an email test message because:
1) I could not find a way to make smartd specify the "from:" address in the outgoing email test message; or
2) I do not know how to make Postfix always use a user-specified "from:" address
Please help me get smartd to successfully complete sending an email test message. I would strongly prefer making smartd specify the "from:" address, rather than making changes to Postfix.
Details follow.
Here is the contents of /etc/smartd.conf
smartd thinks it succeeded sending the test email:
BUT, the test message never gets delivered.
When I examine the Postfix log, it reveals the receiving SMTP server bounced smartd's test email because the SMTP server could not determine the test message's proper sender:
I know Postfix is configured correctly, because I manually sent a message successfully:
BTW - I know just barely enough to get Postfix set up using YaST.
Note:
The actual email addresses used were sanitized for security.
