Re: [Astlinux-devel] msmtp - what controls the queue delay?

[Bill L. <wr...@gm...>]

The error from the server:

msmtp: envelope from address ro...@wr... not accepted by the server
msmtp: server message: 553 5.3.0 <ro...@wr...>... Not a valid email address

I'm not sure if that parses as:
   the envelope the server received from the address ro...@wr...

or:
  the From: address for the msg

Because the -r option to the 'mail' command does set the From: header and that doesn't affect the error.
