Messaging Gateway

Issue/Introduction

The return address used by Messaging Gateway (SMG) for non-delivery report (NDR) emails and delivery status notifications (DSN) needs to be changed from the default value of "postmaster".

Resolution

Messaging Gateway provides a means to update the postmaster email address included in the body of NDR and DSN messages generated by Messaging Gateway via the Control Center's Protocols > Settings page. The default value of "postmaster" results in the following format for NDRs.

Note: this configuration option does not change the email return address for NDRs and DSNs which is hardcoded to "Mailer-Daemon@smghostname".

Example NDR / bounce message generated by SMG:


-------- Message --------

Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
