How to change "sender" from www@ to RC user?

[kondybas]

When RC sends message, it acts as a apache user "www@domain". Accordingly, all bounces are sent to www@domain, not to the issuer of the original message. No relevant config options found in the "main.inc.php" and google gives no help too

Mail accounts are virtual and stored in MySQL, db  made by Postfixadmin. MTA = Exim.

Do you have your config set to this?

Code Select Expand

// SMTP username (if required) if you use %u as the username RoundCube
// will use the current username for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';

// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password RoundCube
// will use the current user's password for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
I've never used MySQL for users but I should think it would work the same.

Yes, both parameters are defined as shown. I'll try to debug, are they evaluated from DB on the stage of message sending. Thanks for advise!

At least, it was completely my own fault, but seems that some unobvious details must be explained.

Cause of trouble was in the Exim misconfiguration. When I've try to set

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = '';
to anything instead empty '' - to 'localhost' or 'my.domain.com' -  RC was rejected by Exim. Changing ACL rules order was enough to fix that.

If you don't want to fall in trouble like me, keep in mind that settings

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost';
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 25;
$rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u';
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
are functional ONLY when 'smtp_server' in non-empty and normal smtp-session occurs.

Yes, you can still use non-smtp connection between RC and MTA but remember, that "envelope-from" and "Return-Path" in headers become [email protected], where "www" - is the account your http-server have use. That means, that all bounces and delivery service messages will be sent by outer MTAs to www@ instead original sender.

Have a nice day.
