Re: [forum] subscription mail broken & change email address is confusing
the problem still persists!
Jan 18 18:15:19 whocarez-server postfix/smtpd[8260]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[37.153.96.164]: 554 5.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname, [37.153.96.164]; from=<forum@localdomain.localdomain> to=<kontakt@whocarez-server> proto=ESMTP helo=<textpattern.localdomain>Thus there isn’t a qualified email address, only “forum@localdomain.localdomain”, the helo answer textpattern.localdomain is also not valid and the reverse lookup for 37.153.96.164 fails.
if postfix is used, then myhostname, myorigin, mydestination should be set to something like textpattern.com and the dns settings should guarantee, that a reverse lookup shows textpattern.com to work properly. At the moment dig -x 37.153.96.164 shows the following:

I still have the same problem although I had tried with several functioning email addresses.

Hi Robert,
if you find some time, would you please also have a look at what might go wrong between my moderator privileges and display of menu items, like I’ve explained here? That’d be very helpful!
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Reverse PTR is now set:
$ dig -x 37.153.96.164
[...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
164.96.153.37.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR textpattern.com.

;; WHEN: Tue Jan 21 03:42:47 2014Postfix setting myhostname is now textpattern.com.
Please report whether these changes pacify your spam filters.

Thanks Robert, emails are delivered, also the old ones.

Do you have any hint where Postfix might get that value from?

Re: [forum] subscription mail broken & change email address is confusing
hm, $mydestination and $myorigin should also contain textpattern.com. Probably /etc/mailname contains com.
just take a look at the output of postconf as root

Added a few additional bits here and there now…
$ postconf | grep mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = textpattern.com
myorigin = $mydomainLooks reasonable.

Re: [forum] subscription mail broken & change email address is confusing
Looks good: from=<forum@forum.textpattern.com>
Thanks!

I just request a email change and I get a mail from this adress : notify@forum.xpattern.net ??? xpattern ?
The same for me. And, quoting an older post: “I still have the problem of forum notifications not working for me (…).”

Re: [forum] subscription mail broken & change email address is confusing
- today I changed my email address to another
- I received the email for activation and clicked on the link
- new email address is ok
- I unsubscribed then re-subscribed to two topics

Notifications are sent from notify@forum.xpattern.net.
And, quoting an older post: “I still have the problem of forum notifications not working for me (…).”
There’s no entry in the mail servers error log pointing at any issues reaching your address, so if you happen to gather more information for possible reasons please do so (example).

Re: [forum] subscription mail broken & change email address is confusing
Perhaps mails aren’t simply not sent, are they ?
A workaround is to subscribe to the RSS topic feed (link at the bottom of the page).
