RE: postmaster account problems

["Fritz Hayes" <fhayes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Nathan,

It might be that you don't have as400.domain.com.au in your host file,
resolving to the IP address of your as400.  Is this the case?

Best Regards

Fritz Hayes

| Hi,
|
| We are using Domino 5.11 on our V4R5 AS/400.
|
| We are using the MTA.
|
| Our AS/400 name is 'as400' and domain is 'domain.com.au'
|
| When an external user sends an email to our domain but the address
isn't
| in the address book, the return mail isn't being sent to the user.
|
| I have 'postmaster' set up as an alias on my Domino Account.
|
| When I send an email to a nonexistent user I get a Delivery Failure
501
| 5.1.8 message.
|
| When I look at the queue of our outgoing mail it says it is sending it
| from 'postmaster@awh.com.au' but it never gets to the destination. And
as
| I have a 'postmaster' alias in my account I get the returned email.
|
| The returned email says:
|
| 501 5.1.8 <postmaster@AS400.DOMAIN.COM.AU>... Domain of sender address
| postmaster@AS400.DOMAIN.COM.AU does not exist
|
| I don't think this is Domino related but AS/400 SMTP related.
|
| What postmaster account does it use?  If I remove postmaster from my
| account I never see these emails.
|
| Is it a WRKDIRE issue? If so, what should I change or add?
|

|
