Topic: Error with delivering after fetching e-mails from remote acc

[tirak]

Please help,

I make new instalation of SME Server ver. 6.0.1. It is working fine, but I have big problem. After installing fetchmail I can not get a remoute e-mails.

I have the following message:

From account, to which I want delivere an e-mail:
Invalid address in MAIL FROM (SMTP error 553).

Reporting-MTA: dns; localhost

Final-Recipient: rfc822; fm%romantichy@localhost
Last-Attempt-Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2004 06:45:06 +0200 (CEST)
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: 553  Sorry, percent hack not accepted here

To the admin adress I have got the following message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at jimiro.cz.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<rock.owner@pandora.cz>:
Connected to 195.39.16.12 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 553 5.1.8 <FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@sandra.jimiro.cz>... Domain of sender address FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@sandra.jimiro.cz does not exist...

It looking, that after fetching from remote pop3 box, qmail is trying to send e-mail back. Why? Where is error?

Please help....

Thank Roman

Your mail to fm%romantichy@localhost is not allowed because the is this % sign in it. I don't know if you want to write to

fm_ or fm. or fm- ...

but qmail does not allow this percent sign: "percent hack not accepted here". Try an account without any special chars in it, like fm.romantichy.....

I also do not know where the percent sign is comming from, recheck the Users and Pseudonyms in server-manager.

Thank you for your reply. I found the following problem:
All is in *fetchmail file in /etc directory. After I try make new setting through http:/xxx/server-manager, then this file is changed to bad recipients adress.
But I can not found, in which file I must make change, to make permanently setting after saving from server-manager page.

Please help me.

Hi

I've just hit exactly this same problem with my freashly built SME 6.01 with update script3.

2005-01-03 12:00:10.404604500 smtpfront-qmail[4829]: RCPT TO:<fm%junkmail@mail.mydomain.com>
2005-01-03 12:00:10.404641500 smtpfront-qmail[4829]:  Sorry, percent hack not accepted here

The account "junkmail" exists on the server, but I've no idea where the "fm%" came from...

Did you ever sort this problem out?  What changes to make to etc/fetchmail, and how to make them "stick" (via template edit??).  If you sorted it, I would really appreciate any advice on the resolutiuon!
