Hi all, our IT manager changed some rules on our SMTP server and Codestriker=20 (version 1.9.2 on a Gentoo Linux box) can no longer send mail. Every=20 time I take some action that should generate an email I see the=20 following message: Couldn't send email to "di...@da..." , <localhost.localdomain>:=20 Helo command rejected: Host not found The guy said that the SMTP message should either be authenticated or=20 come from a known host. According to him, the host contained in the=20 message is "localhost.localdomain", wich is not a valid host. Since I=20 dont want to use authenticated messages, I would like Codestriker to put=20 the correct hostname and domain into the messages. Has anybody faced=20 this problem before? What is the best solution to this? Thanks in advance, --=20 DIEGO Moreira da Rosa DATACOM Av Fran=E7a, 735 - Porto Alegre, RS - 90230-220 DDR: +55 51 3358 0141 Fax: +55 51 3358 0101 site: www.datacom.ind.br e-mail: di...@da... |

Do you have /etc/conf.d/hostname set? I am also guessing that you have a line 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain in your /etc/hosts. Remove the localdomain part and optionally add the hostname to that entry.

Ping to "localhost.localdomain" does not resolve.

What is the best solution to this? I've never seen this issue... but it sounds to me that you will need to use SMTP authentication if the above doesn't make a difference. Why don't you want to do this? Quite a few people have set this up without issue. Cheers, David |
