Cannot send email - failed to send message
« on: December 17, 2008, 06:44:37 PM »
Hey all,

Just completed a new installation of RC on an FC9 box running postfix and dovecot. Only one domain and users have local accounts. No errors during installation. However, when I go to send an email I get an error message up at the top of the screen that says 'Sending message...' followed a few seconds later by 'Failed to send message'. No problem receiving email at all.

The postfix maillog indicates that the user name that is attempting to send email is 'user@www.example.com'. When RC goes the recieve email, the log indicates that it is using plain old 'user' and thus no probs receiving. Does anyone know what setting might be adding the 'www.example.com' part to the user name when sending?

I do have the option set in my config/main.inc.php file:

Code: [Select]
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = 'example.com';

This worked great for getting rid of the localhost issue with identities on new accounts but would it have caused this issue?

Thanks as always!
