Hello All,

 

I finally was able to build my unRaid server this week. Things went smoothly with the build. I love the system so far. Going through the tutorial I competed the preclear process on all installed disks and got stuck on the email setup section.

 

I have tried various configurations but always get rejected. Here is the latest failed test section from the syslog :

Dec 30 15:10:08 Tower sSMTP[5845]: Set MailHub="smtp.aol.com"

Dec 30 15:10:10 Tower sSMTP[5845]: MAIL FROM:<root@[email protected]>

Dec 30 15:10:10 Tower sSMTP[5845]: 550 5.1.0 <root@[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: aol.com

Dec 30 15:10:10 Tower sSMTP[5845]: 550 5.1.0 <root@[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: aol.com

 

I have tried it with the "From LIne Override" on and off. The above addresses are fake of course but during the testing I used two of my valid email addresses in various configurations to no avail.

 

Notice the MAIL FROM:<root@[email protected]> line above. It almost appears that aol.com is seeing this as the sender address and is rejecting it. Is that the case? I wonder if it would work if the MAIL FROM line read MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>.

 

I appreciate any help that you can provide.

 

Thanks for a great forum and a great system. I have a lot to learn but that's the fun part.

 

Have a great new year,

"AOL" blocks any e-mail that is not originating from [email protected]

 

You'll not have much success unless you give up your attempt at using "myself.com"

Hello Joe,

 

I understand what you are saying about aol.

 

I also tried using my @me.com with the same issues. Do you know if they act that way as well?

 

Thanks for any info.

You will probably only be able to get them to act as mail host if it appears as if it is

[email protected]

that is sending the mail.

 

They've had bad problems with spammers using them as a mail host in the distant past, so probably are very specific on who sends mail now.

Update

 

Hey Joe,

 

Got this working by setting up a gmail account. Like you said the others would not let me send emails.

 

Cool thing is that instead of sending me emails I set it up to send me text messages instead.

 

Thanks for the info.
