Here’s the situation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Let’s say I use SC to send a message to <a href="mailto:joe@ham.org">joe@ham.org</a>, with a copy to n6mef. That is, the message goes to an email address with a copy to a local packet user. Note that the local packet user address does not include any “@...”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The message is sent to the email gateway for handling the email. The addresses that the email gateway gets from JNOS are: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'> To: <a href="mailto:joe@ham.org">joe@ham.org</a>, Cc: n6mef.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The problem is that n6mef has no domain attached. The receiving mail gateway, depending on how it strictly it is configured may even reject the message because the recipients are not fully qualified. Or the message may be dropped by the destination mail server at ham.org. Or the destination mail server may add it’s own domain, resulting in <a href="mailto:n6mef@ham.org">n6mef@ham.org</a>. This is what happens at yahoo and other places. Now, if someone tries to reply all, they end up with bounces because <a href="mailto:n6mef@ham.org">n6mef@ham.org</a> doesn’t exist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>From my understanding of the SMTP standards, only fully qualified addresses should be passed between mail systems. In other words, the JNOS system should add its local hostname.domain to the local part (n6mef) before sending it along, so that the message is sent as: To: <a href="mailto:Joe@ham.com">Joe@ham.com</a>, CC: <a href="mailto:n6mef@bbscall.ampr.org">n6mef@bbscall.ampr.org</a> (or whatever).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is there maybe a configuration option I’m missing that would tell JNOS to add it’s hostname to non-fqdn addresses?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Michael<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>N6MEF<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
