1, 2009. abmoller New Member Hi I am trying to config my SMTP server to receiving incoming emails, yet to no avail. I just tried to send an https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/smtp-server-response-bad-recipient-address-syntax-state-14.34405/ e-mail from a gmail account and this was the server response 501 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax (state 14) What could be causing this, it is obviously the config of the http://serverfault.com/questions/601774/maximum-length-of-mail-from-address SMTP server but I don't know what. Pls help! Kind regards FYI - I have been using the http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-fedora-10 . Also I think it could matter that my host is still syntax error running on a global IP address ref so the e-mail addresses would be something like [emailprotected] abmoller, May 1, 2009 #1 topdog Active Member HowtoForge Supporter Check your /var/log/maillog, its a misconfiguration causing the mail to be rejected. topdog, May 2, 2009 #2 abmoller New Member topdog said: ↑ Check your /var/log/maillog, its a misconfiguration causing the mail to be rejected.Click to 501 syntax error expand...

I set the proxy_interfaces setting to 1.2.3.4 since my server behind a NAT. Nothing. What is the difference between editing the settings in main.cf versus postconf -e? Is it the same thing? Also, I can send mail from the server to a gmail account using mailx. When trying to use Squirrelmail to send email from a user account it throws a bad syntax error at me, similar to the server response when trying to send emails to it. What am I missing here?? abmoller, May 2, 2009 #3 topdog Active Member HowtoForge Supporter Please post your main.cf file. topdog, May 3, 2009 #4 abmoller New Member I have the suspicion that postfix rejects all mails to a [emailprotected] address and therefore the Illegal address syntax msg. Can someone confirm this before I post my main.cf file??? abmoller, May 3, 2009 #5 topdog Active Member HowtoForge Supporter abmoller said: ↑ I have the suspicion that postfi

Maybe it have something to do with the SMTP protocol or a different restriction though? –horen Jun 4 '14 at 14:29 1 No, it has not. A SMTP server is magically required to actually acccept valid email addresses, or? How else would it work? –TomTom Jun 4 '14 at 14:30 You're right of course.
