Problem when sending with a different mail-account

[susist]

I successfully installed the community edition server version 6.6.0-6610 on a virtual machine (XEN) on my new SUSE 11.0 (AMD 64-bit Dual-Core) - server.

It runs in a natted network at my home and uses my mydefault.account@mydomain_at_my_isp.com to relay mail through my ISP's mailserver, mails are received with fetchmail and I am very happy with it so far.

But whenever I use a different e-mail-adress than the default one to sent mail from the ox-web-interface, the mail receives the recipient like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Von: myother.account@my_other_isp.com im Auftrag von My Name [mydefault.account@mydomain_at_my_isp.com]
An: My Other-Name
Betreff: blafasel
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe it's more a feature than a bug, though I don't like it very much.

What can I do, to make my mail appear at the recipient, like it was sent with my myother.account@my_other_isp.com's webmailer.

I am a afraid that this is the same "feature", that the also java-based googlemail.com-webmailer uses when sending with external mail-accounts.

Maybe that this behavior is hardcoded in the javamail sourcecode.

I'm hosting my own domain "help-it.org" on my own rootserver at STRATO, where I have my own staticly assigned public IP-adress.

I am also my own MAil-provider for my @help-it.org-mail-accounts.

Using my Outlook 2003 as a POP3-client of my postfix at my rootserver, I don't have that problem.

I can use myother.account@my_other_isp.com's as a sender-account and it is relayed through the help-it.org-postfix without any problems and reaches the recipient like it was send wth the myother.account@my_other_isp.com's webmailer.

I already tried to use my help-it.org-postfix as the smtp-server for my ox-server, wich was easily done. It worked like a charm, but didn't had any positv effect to my problem.

Is there a way to reconfigure OX to disable that "feature"?

Any hints are very welcome!

Thanks for reading my post!

That's must be a feature of your isp.
The ox webmailer does not do that.

Maybe you didn't got me right

Your answer is probably correct, when the question would have been:
Problems while sending mail with another OX-E-Mail-Account on the ox-server.

So I changed the title of the thread now.

But In between, I doublechecked again everything and managed to find a solution, which I can live with:

When I switch the specific alais-e-mail-adress to the the standard-alias-e-mailadress before sending with it, the mail reaches the recipient the way I want.

You can configure your default E-Mail-Adress within the User-Web-Interface at:

Einstellungen(Settings) - E-Mail - Einstellungen(Settings) - verfassen(edit) - dropdown-menue "Standard-Absender-Adresse"(standard-sender-adress)

Everything is OK now again, but I'm quite shore that I'm right, when I think, that sending Mails with non-Standard-Adresses always leads to a "im Auftrag von" (by order of) in the header, is hardcoded in OX and not caused by the SMTP-Server of my relay-account.

It would be nice if there would be a possibility to en- or disable this "feature" for non-standard-e-mai-adresses within the clients settings for e-mail in future releases.

That's at least not the behaviour in the ox as we use it on our own internally and I'm quite sure, that we don't ship a special other version to the outside... ;-)

Hi,

i must reopen this topic.
I'Ve exact the same problem.
I've got a user with 5 mail aliases
If this user sends a mail with one alias the recipient gets a mail from the default mail adress and only in mission of the alias.

This is sure a ox problem, ox sets the sender bit in the header to the default mail.

This is a significant problem because we could not use openxchange if this persists...

greetings

Hi,

i must push this.

if i send a mail with RoundCubeWebmail and a non standard e-mail adress, everything is fine, if i do this in ox webmail, the recipient get the mail in mission of my standard e-mail adress

how can i change that?

Maybe a similar problem here: Default domain of the server is domain.de and the users have Primary E-Mail Address like user1@t1.domain.de or user2@t2.domain.de. But everytime the users are sending mail, the sender's address changed to user1@domain.de or user2@domain.de even if the user hasn't a mail alias for that mail address. And this is if the users are sending mail via the OX webgui or using an IMAP client like thunderbird.

I found it by myself: I had to change the postfix setting masquerade_domains in /etc/postfix/main.cf. This was by default set to
masquerade_domains = $mydomain

Easiest way is to change this by editing the corresponding registry value "postfix/masquerade/domains" and set it empty. Restart postfix afterthat and it works.
