The following emails are being regularly ent from my server from a hestiaweb account to a root account.. its eating up my smtp replay allotment. what are these?
From
[email protected]
To
[[email protected]]
The email should contain the details. These emails are usually automatically generated by the system, typically because of a sudo warning or error.
well it’s going to [email protected] and email that doesn’t exist and coming from a hetiaweb@ email that i don’t know where the from and to emails are being set in this case… I have smtp relay setup and global relay and the smtp account for notifications. so why is this coming from something else?
The system is sending the mail using the affected user’s name (hestiaweb) as the sender and your server’s hostname as the domain. By default, it sends the mail to the root user.
Hestia is not sending it, the system is doing it. The details explaining why you are receiving this mail are in the message body.
How do i change hestiaweb users email address? and im guessing the root i can change in alias file?
As far as I know you can’t, it uses user@yourHostname. I always recommend to add the hostname of your server as a mail domain and create a root mail account to receive those mails.
So I updated exim to force the root and hestiaweb email to come from my no reply email and running " sudo -u hestiaweb bash -c ‘echo “test” | mail -s “Test From Hestia” [email protected]’ " shows the rewrite works. but the hestiaweb email is bypassing that and its going over smtp replay so exim is handling it… whereis this set… it has to be part of Hestia’s code
Do that.
