Description

We would like to send notification emails on openqa.opensuse.org.

There are certain combinations of Sender and recipients that are rejected by mx2.suse.de.

I'm testing with

echo "body" | mailx -s "subject" -r "from@example.org" "to@example.org"

Sending from a suse.de address to an suse.com, an external address or a slack channel address works.
Sending from a suse.com address to a suse.com or suse.de address is rejected.
Sending from a suse.com address to an external address works.

Sending from a suse.de address to a suse.de address is rejected.

If rejected, the recipient gets an email from mailer daemon:

<timueller@suse.de>: host mx2.suse.de[ip] said: 554 5.7.1
    <o3-admins@suse.de>: Sender address rejected: We don't accept our own
    addresses as sender address on this host! (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Emails are no longer rejected

Suggestions

  • File tickets with SUSE IT and openSUSE heroes

We have not seen emails from o3 logwarn as well for some time so this might be broken in general.

  • Status changed from Workable to Blocked

I would say this is blocked by #112673. No emails are sent at all.
At best when talking to the mail server admins, both issues can be mentioned.

It's not possible to send emails with a suse.de sender address, I checked with Bernhard Wiedemann:
https://suse.slack.com/archives/C029APBKLGK/p1657882472570089

I still don't understand why this works on osd, but it looks like we have to set some "external" sender address and add a reply-to, like Oliver suggested.

I set the sender to noreply@openqa.opensuse.org for now, in /etc/postfix/sender_canonical.
To have an effect, one needs to call

postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical
systemctl restart postfix.service

Emails to my own suse.de address is arriving, but it still needs to be confirmed if emails are arriving at the o3-admins list.

Waiting for feedback from the list owner @okurz.

I can now administrate the list.
I had to explicitly allow the sender address noreply@openqa.opensuse.org.

I also set the sender adress for openqa-monitor, so the logwarn emails should go through now.

Todo:

  • Add Reply-To header to logwarn and openqa-review emails

Actually the reply-to is not necessary.

The Sender address is now set via postfix to noreply@openqa.opensuse.org, but the "From" header can now be o3-admins@suse.de.

I set the from_email in openqa.ini to o3-admins@suse.de.

Added that email to the allowed senders in mailman as well.

Now all emails should go through.

Ok, I just saw a successful logwarn email, and a test email to o3-admins plus slack also works.

Resolving.
