welcome email could not be sent

[Daniel Kaupp]

I tested a lot and i found the following:

"Could not sent welcome email" is thrown when I add someone for the CC that is not covered by my domain.

Scenario: I created a domain newhost.com and there create a maibox us...@newhost.com. In creation I add anoth...@oldhost.com to the CC list of the welcome email.
Then no welcome email is sent.

If i don't add CC or add anoth...@newhost.com (presuming this one exists) to CC, then the welcome email and the CC are delivered correctly.

Log shows nothing, though it is on and high (7).

When i try to send mail to anoth...@oldhost.com from my console via "mail" this works perfectly.

Is this a bug in vimbadmin, or a misconfiguration of postfix, or a mix of both?
Has anyone had that?

Postfix configuration.

Check you /var/log/mail* files.

Most likely you are not allowing the relay of mails from the ViMdAdmin
IP address.

Hey Barry,

thanks, but there's nothing in the logs.
Is ViMbAdmin using "localhost" or "127.0.0.1", or is it not using the local address?

As I already indicated in a previous mail:

The default setting needs to be changed from:

resources.mailer.smtphost = "smtp.example.com"
