Topic: SMTP Error 552 Mail with no From header not accept [Solved]

[shodanki]

i have a problem that recently accourd on my sme server when i send mail to ist.

i get this in return
SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error 552 Mail with no From header not accepted here


so i created a new server
rolled my server back via affa and get the same problem.
Is this a known problem ?.

i am currently thinking of a complet new installation without any data.
but that is not my prefered way

are there any checks i can make to see were the problem come from?

regards
Shodan

hi

first of all.. SME, and generally speaking all SERVER distributions/installations, should not be reinstalled if you have a problem..

with the 552 error code you should have also all the headers of the original message.. who's the sender?

please check mail logs (/var/log/qmail/current and /var/log/qpsmtpd/current) or, better, read this and then do all the checks.

Ciao

Ok this is the logfile created
the sender is a regular Company mail system but i checked many systems like gmx,gmail, my provider server,even if i send a mail form sme to my own address
same effekt and the log seems a little wired.

The mail you are receiving seems to be in a undesired format to SME Server and seems to miss a FROM header.

I find it hard to imagine that all mail is dropped like you state, if that might be the case I think you will need to look in to the details of your mailserver configuration as well as in DNS settings perhaps as I suspect something more general might be wrong.

I currently setup an reserve system to bring my personal mail system back online and check then were the problem is.
the problems occourd after updating the system so it might be a broken contrib i will see..
so long shodan.

Argh  an new server same problem.

after some brainstorming upps i have an security sytem befor the sme server that also checks the incoming mail.
and say what.
disabling it.
routing all traffic direct to the sme server.
whoops mail send compleat !.
to much security can some times be a problem.
so the problem is not the sme server it is the gateway.
thanks for the help problem solved
Pleas close the post.

It's hardly a "security system" if it corrupts the content of all mail messages.
