Forwarding blocked by ISP, using sendmail instead

2007-02-08 10:02:38
Hi

I have setup a new server and in the meantime I have placed a procmail
forward recipe on the current live server

-----------------------
:0 c
! user(_at_)testdomain(_dot_)com

/ rest of procmail rules
-----------------------

When the server passed the email onto the relay (my ISP) it is
accepted, but never makes it to the testdomain. Where if I send from a
MUA to the testdomain its fine. I think becuase when the procmail mail
recipe forwards the email it has From:
<local_user(_at_)mail(_dot_)local_domain(_dot_)local> and the ISP must not be 
allowing
this.

I therefore used sendmail

-----------------------
:0 c
| '/usr/sbin/sendmail' -fme(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com 
user(_at_)testdomain(_dot_)com

/ rest of procmail rules
-----------------------

This works but then becuase of the -f it appends the following header,
and could be bad at some point:

X-Authentication-Warning: mail.local_domain.local: user1 set sender to
user1(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com using -f

I take it this could actually be either a Procmail, Sendmail or ever a
system issue. (Do I need to set each local users email address on the
system so that mails from are from their address and not local systems
location?)

Thanks for your time.

Paul.
