Profile Manager sending email to the wrong domain

This looks to be an issue because our server is on a sub-domain and the mail service is running on a separate server.


In short, the email the server is trying to send is from=<noreply@mini.mydomain.com>


The server's host name is <mini.mydomain.com> and in the email configuration the "Domains" list is set up to only have the <mydomain.com> set up.


What I can't figure out is why the server is not using the mail domain that is configured?


Lastly I've also set up to use the "relay outgoing mail through ISP" as we are not using OS X Server for our mail server we are using a hosted mail service and the SMTP configuration for that server is set up correctly, port and all.

Try this....

Edit myorigin in postfix config.


Always a good idea to check the current value before making a change

/Applications/Server.app//Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/postconf myorigin

The default is

myorigin = $myhostname


While we're at it, check the value of myhostname

/Applications/Server.app//Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/postconf myorigin

You'll notice its set to mini.mydomain.com

Thats why outbound mail is using the hostname as the origin(domain)

Change the value to your real domain

/Applications/Server.app//Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/postconf -e "myorigin=mac007.com"


Restart mail

/Applications/Server.app//Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/postfix reload

Thank you for this suggestion!


I've had a go at it, unfortunately I get this back:


postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf.tmp: Permission denied


This is on a new OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 running Server 5.0.15, that has only had Profile Manager setup [not completely however i.e. software deployment was not done].


I've set Read & Write permissions to the main.cf file for the local admin user [that I'm using for all of this]. I can't find the main.cf.tmp file it throws up.


Any further advice?

Hi again 🙂


I managed to make the change manually and it has had an effect but I think I'm still missing something.


I'll post what comes up on the STMP log but before I do - FYI I am sending an invite to a user in profile manager, named 'srvadmin'. I've set his email address as 'hxsapple@holycross.kingston.sch.uk'. We're using a relay and I think it is because of the 'noreply' email address that we're getting bounced.


Here is the log:

What do you think? I've been struggling to find where I can set the domain for the 'noreply' email!


Thanks - Rory.
