  • 1.  Change Symantec Protection Center E-Mail Return-Path

    Posted Jul 08, 2010 07:01 AM
    Hello,

    some Symantec developer had the ingenious idea to set the Return-Path (MAIL FROM) address to SPC_Server@SERVERNAME.com, which is of course rejected as an illegal address by the smtp relay server: '421 invalid sender domain 'SERVERNAME.com' (misconfigured dns?)  ' 

    Is there any way to configure this? I'm using Endpoint Protection SBS 12.0.

    As an ugly hack I've added an entry "127.0.0.1 mydomain" to %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, so that SERVERNAME.com gets resolved to mydomain.com which is a valid domain, but there must be a way to configure this.

    I really don't know what the developers have thought doing it like this. If it was at least SPC_Server@SERVERNAME (without.com) it would have made some sense, but with the added .com is really, really bad idea.

    Regards, Felix

    So esentially, I need to use smtp auth and have a username that is an e-mail address to change the return path?

    Not very flexible, what if the smtp server uses logins like u12345 without a domain part?
