Hi Chris,
That does appear to be the problem, .. as now all outbound local-user
emails are getting rejected.
So, .. this mailserver used to use gmail as a smarthost for local users,
while forwarding domain users to the 'official' smtp relay for the domain.
Unfortunately, with this change a return address of 'root' or 'lvl' now
fails (i.e. no "@domain.name").
Would anyone have a thought on how to fix this issue? The options I see
are:
* Configure gmail so that non FQDN return address are acceptable;
* Route local user traffic via the 'official' outbound relay;
* Append a different domain name to local user from addresses;
* Force local user outbound emails 'From' address to a valid one (i.e.
both user & domain).
Suggestions would be appreciated!
Lee
