Invalid Return-Path in email header

[igotea]

Hello,

my OCS instance in combination with Postfix send the mails ok, but not
every one receive them.

I observed that the header of messages sent from the OCS email forms
have a wrong Return-Path, like: apache@.ro

Searching for a solution, I observed that if I modify the php.ini
file by adding:

Code: Select all

    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f myemail@mydomain.com


the message will reach the final destination.

The questions:
- what changes to make to have the return-path adress equal whith the "from adress" ?
- Is the OCS mail () form wrong or I must work on my php.ini file ?

Regards,

Ionut

Hi Ionut,

Two things to try:
1) Try enabling the "allow_envelope_sender" option in config.inc.php and setting the "default_envelope_sender" setting to a reasonable default (i.e. your installation's primary contact).

2) Try using SMTP mailing rather than your local MTA. (See the [email] section in config.inc.php for details on this.)

We had the same issue on OJS over here.

Things have always worked fine and people received emails no problem until recently.
I implemented the allow_envelope_sender = On (took off the ; from the beginning of the line) and changed the default_envelope_sender to a valid email and emails are getting through now.
