When I tried to send mail using "mail -s <testing> <recipient>" style command, the /var/log/maillog shows this:
Mar 5 21:09:06 nova postfix/smtp[24406]: 0D49BA3C1: to=dass_soumen@yahoo.com, relay=none, delay=460, status=deferred (connect to smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8]: No route to host)
Well, I have an update. I don't know how but after disconnecting once & then retrying with the new connection postfix managed to find the route (??).
However, despite my chaging the From: & Reply-To: headers to my MTNL e-mail addresses, the mail was bounced by the MTNL smtp server:
<---------> Mar 5 21:46:27 nova postfix/nqmgr[629]: 0D49BA3C1: from=soumen@localhost.localdomain, size=406, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 5 21:46:31 nova postfix/smtp[27986]: 0D49BA3C1: to=dass_soumen@yahoo.com, relay=smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8], delay=2705, status=bounced (host smtp.mtnl.net.in[202.159.228.8] said: 550 5.1.8 invalid/host-not-in-DNS return address not allowed (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) <--------->
What could be reason behind the rejection despite my re-writing the From/Reply-To headers? What changes should I look at to avoid bouncing of messages?
