I fixed it. Had to do a sender_canonical rewrite on the gateway mailserver.

Thanks.

Subject: $myorigin not working

Hi,

I've looked through the archives and read the FAQs, and experimented,
looking for an and haven't found one yet. My apologies if there is one out
there and I just haven't found it.

I have a gateway-mailserver (Solaris 2.5.1 Sparc) running Postfix
(v19991231) just fine. Everything works great!

> postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
disable_dns_lookups = yes
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mydestination = $myhostname, $myhostname.$mydomain, localhost.$mydomain,
$mydomain
mydomain = co.sprintbbd.net
myhostname = a_valid_hostname
mynetworks = 192.168.2.0/8
myorigin = $myhostname.$mydomain
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

I have also have a Sun workstation (Solaris 8 Sparc) running Postfix
(v1.1.7), using the gateway machine as a relay:

> postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
disable_dns_lookups = yes
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $myhostname.$mydomain
mydomain = bwp.com
myhostname = ultra
myorigin = some_valid_host.co.sprintbbd.net
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /etc/postfix
# below is the gateway machine
relayhost = 192.168.2.2
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop

Everything works GREAT sending mail from the workstation, out through the
relay / gateway mail server, and I have an alias on the mailserver which
allows it to accept mail and relay it back to the workstation (as long as
the email address is specified correctly when sending mail from the outside
to the mailserver). But mail that originates from the workstation does not
get the correct "$myorigin", and so the return address is wrong. i.e.

mail from the workstation has a return address of:

        jpjwork_station.co.sprintbbd.net

When is should have a return adress of:

        jpjvalid_hostname.co.sprintbbd.net (which is the gateway machine).

I'm sure there must me a simple answer. My main.cf files (minus comment
lines) follow:

=========== main.cf from the gateway / mailserver =================
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myhostname = valid_hostname
myorigin = $myhostname.$mydomain
mydomain = co.sprintbbd.net
mydestination = $myhostname, $myhostname.$mydomain, localhost.$mydomain,
$mydomain
mynetworks = 192.168.2.0/8
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
         PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
         xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
disable_dns_lookups = yes

myhostname = ultra
mydomain = bwp.com
# myorigin is postfix gateway machine
myorigin = valid_hostname.co.sprintbbd.net
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $myhostname.$mydomain

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
