Thanks for the reply Simon A quick rundown of the topology. I have a machine called gateway set up with SOGo on it using postfix as the MDA / MTA. Mutt is on the same machine mainly for testing so I can be sure they are both using the localhost service. Evolution is also set up to use the gateway as the smtp server. I feel reasonably confident that it's not an issue with the smtp server, but rather the interaction between SOGo and the LDAP server.
I had it configured in a similar way with SOGo 1.3 and ClearOS 5.2, although the clearMailAliases didn't exist then, I had to make do with putting them in the street field which worked ok. You don't mention it in your reply so forgive me for asking. Are your email aliases stored in an LDAP server too? and which version of SOGo are you running? I've checked the LDAP server using jxplorer and the aliases are being stored fine. After a little more testing, the mangled from addresses seem to be being generated from the CNFieldName field, so where I have cn="Name Surname" I get FROM: Name@fqdn, Surname@fqdn where I have cn="Name M. Surname" I end up with FROM: Name@fqdn, M.Surname@fqdn I hope this clarifies the issue somewhat. Leon L. Robinson On 11/05/2012 08:58 AM, Junk wrote: Hi. I've set up SOGo 2.0.1 on ClearOS 6.3 (based on RHEL6.3) using the instructions found here http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,40/func,view/id,45488/#45488 Those instructions say nothing about how you've setup your mail server(s). It all works fine apart from when I try to send mail using aliases with periods (full stops) in like this e.g. one.two@fqdn or a.b.cee@fqdn I end up with two addresses in the FROM field like one@fqdn, o.two@fqdn The aliases are provided from LDAP as per the link. (see the line MailFieldNames=(clearMailAliases,mail) ) I can send mail from other clients (mutt & evolution) without the mangling happening so I'm pretty sure it's the webmail part of SOGo that isn't happy. Can you help? Almost all of my email users and some aliases have a dot in their address: firstname.surn...@example.net How are mutt and Evolution configured to send mail? Perhaps ClearOS is configured to use clearMailAliases in the LDAP server for email aliases. However, that does change the way SOGo sends email: it looks like you've configured SOGo to send via SMTP on the localhost. That maybe where your problem is.
