Not receiving root mail
 

Although I have the alias defined in /etc/aliases and /etc/postfix/aliases,
I'm not receiving root mail. Following the previous thread about unreceived
logwatch mail, I tested with a manual run of logwatch, and found that my ISP
is rejecting the mail because it is seeing an envelope carrying my local
address. My suspicion is that the mail is going out via sendmail instead of
postfix-sendmail. IIRC there used to be system-switch-mail or a similarly
named package. I can't find any such package - and can't remember which file
it edited. Can someone please point me to that file?

It looks like your outgoing mail from your local user(s) needs to be
masqueraded or the whole server does.

Once your email is out on the Internet is needs a genuine Internet email
address. xxx.lan is known only to your internal system and it is not an
Internet email address.

Care to show the headers of your outgoing email ? (cover-up the bits you
want to keep private)

I think Barry has it right here.

Also, if you're using postfix, you should "yum remove sendmail" to
avoid any possible conflicts. There's no reason to have sendmail,
postfix implements its own 'sendmail' command.

If you're running postfix, you might want to also edit /etc/aliases.
The last line or so has a commented line, person who should get root's
mail. (The name is marc, probably the person who first wrote it.)

After changing that, run newaliases /etc/alias to rebuild the
/etc/alias.db.

To answer your other question, alternatives is the command you asked
about in an earlier post

alternatives --config mta

This will show you if you're using postfix or sendmail.

Exactly - and my problem is knowing where it is getting this from.

Not sure where I can find the outgoing mail but I can give more info that might
help.

It's a long story, but probably relevant, so -

We first set up a family LAN around 12 years ago, and called it xxx.net.
Eventually I realised that xxx.net was actually a TLD name, so not a good
idea. Actually I now own both xxx.org and xxx.net, but I decided that with
this install I'd correct what had long been our practice.

On the new CentOS install I set the server name to borg.xxx.lan. I then
changed every reference to xxx.net in /etc/hosts, and set about changing the
Postfix config files. (I know now that it is using postfix.sendmail,) Somewhere
I either have some other file still pointing to the old name, or, more likely,
postfix is still using it somewhere.

I have been careful to re-map transports and restart postfix after any changes
to the config files. The following from maillog may shed some light as to where
the problem lies:

Aug 22 14:02:12 borg postfix/qmgr[1499]: 2EB94A371B: removed

The old transport read:

xxx.net local:
.xxx.net local:
* smtp:[mailhost.zen.co.uk]
.* smtp:[mailhost.zen.co.uk]

Those lines have been left and

xxx.lan local:
.xxx.lan local:

added in.

A more likely suspect, I think, is main.cf - the relevant lines in the old one
being

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, xxx.lan
myhostname = borg.xxx.net
mydomain = xxx.net
myorigin = $mydomain
masquerade_domains = $mydomain
#masquerade_domains = |borg.xxx.net
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24,127.0.0.0/8

and the latest version (after many thrashing edits)


mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, xxx.lan
myhostname = borg
mydomain = xxx.org
myorigin = $mydomain
# masquerade_domains = $mydomain
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24,127.0.0.0/8

Sorry this was so long, but it seemed important to give you as much info as I
could.

We fist should make sure you are using postfix instead of sendmail,
could you please check that Anne?

I think you also need to rewrite your envelop address.

I had the same problem years ago, so the way to solve it has probably
changed, hopefully not too much :

- edit (create if necessary) /etc/postfix/sender_cannonical
anne@borg.xxx.lan some.address@some.real.server.for.the.bounces

- edit main.cf :
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_cannonical

- rehash /etc/postfix/sender_cannonical and reload postfix

Good luck,

Actually, the "main suspect" is the program or person that is sending out
mail with an unqualified sender, e.g. just "user". Change it to a
qualified sender (e.g. with a resolvable FQDN).
