Re: [qmailtoaster] Why does username require domain name?
I still dont understand whats wrong here??? if u get @137.52.23.46 in the headers of the mail Received: from unknown (HELO ?137.52.23.46?) (adamt...@awabllc.com@137.52.23.46) Please try to understand the meaning of this header line above . To the mailserver this client i.e., 137.52.23.46 is an unknown client because this clinet doesnt have any RDNS defined for it and cannot be resolved, hence its unknown. Secondly, adamt...@awabllc.com is the authenticated user who is sending mail from the client 137.52.23.46 Thats what this line stands for in the hearder of you mail. I dont understand whats wrong with that???

You are doing something fundamentally wrong with the basics of how the system works. When you log into your domain in qmailadmin, click New Email Account. In the box for Email Account, enter the address (adam). Nothing else. Enter the password and other info as you see fit. The header you're seeing is a normal part of the email header trail. For example, when I send from my Qmailtoaster machine to my Postfix machine, I get this in the header (along with other information): Received: from unknown (HELO ?192.168.76.64?) (j...@qmailtoaster.com@70.60.227.155) by oss.vickersconsulting.net with ESMTPA; 9 Oct 2009 23:06:04 - And when I send from my Postfix machine to my Qmailtoaster machine, I get a similar line: Received: from unknown (HELO mail1.vickersconsulting.net) (70.60.227.155) by oss.vickersconsulting.net with SMTP; 9 Oct 2009 23:06:56 - Received: from [192.168.76.64] (unknown [192.168.76.64]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) (Authenticated sender: j...@v2gnu.com) by mail1.vickersconsulting.net (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 6EDED12E19F for j...@qmailtoaster.com; Fri, 9 Oct 2009 19:06:55 -0400 (EDT) It's just formatted different, and is irrelevant since the only place this is seen is on the receiving machine. It's PUT there by the receiving machine. It's the same information, just in a different format. It would have no bearing on you being put on a CBL list. As a matter of fact, the only way you can be listed on the CBL is by sending mail to one of their spam traps. (http://cbl.abuseat.org/) You should check your network/users and see who is sending messages to their spamtrap. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
