I don't think that's the problem... changing that line would cause all
of root's mail to go to another destination - that's not the problem.
I'm trying to send a message from this host (
aria.bokler.com) to my
"real" email account on a different host.
The problem is that the from: address "mail" is using is bogus:
"root(a)localhost.localdomain" Problem is that I don't know *where* mail
is getting this address. Following is the error message:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<jaymo(a)mail.bokler.com>
(reason: 553 5.1.8 <root@localhost.localdomain>... Domain of sender
address
root(a)localhost.localdomain does not exist)
<jaymo(a)mail.bokler.com>
(reason: 501 <root@localhost.localdomain>... Sender domain must
exist)
The remote server is well behaved. Good.
Change the references in /etc/smartd.conf accordingly:
eg.
/dev/hda -H -m root(a)localhost.localdomain
/dev/hdc -H -m root(a)localhost.localdomain
becomes
/dev/hda -H -m me(a)domain.mumble.invalid # My email address goes here.
/dev/hdc -H -m me(a)domain.mumble.invalid # and here
See smartd(8)
Cheers,
Michael.
