Mails are beeing sent with wrong subdomain

[bguenthner]

Hey there,

I have an issue with sending mails with the docker compose setup. My values are as following:

  SETTING_EXTERNAL_HOST: "chat-test.server.domain"
  SETTING_ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR: "admin@server.domain"
  SETTING_EMAIL_HOST: "mail.server.domain" 
  SETTING_EMAIL_HOST_USER: "chat@server.domain"
  SETTING_EMAIL_PORT: "587"
  NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS: "chat@server.domain"
  SETTING_EMAIL_USE_SSL: "False"
  SETTING_EMAIL_USE_TLS: "True"

The sending of mails apparently works, but my mail server won't let the mail pass through because of this:

NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[X.X.X.X]: 553 5.7.1 <noreply@chat-test.server.domain>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user chat@server.domain; from=<noreply@chat-test.server.domain> to=<newuser@gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<xxxxxxx>

So the chat@server.domain is not used as sender, but Zulip somehow creates a new user to send the mails from, that does not exist on the mail server. And ofc the mail server blocks this.

Did I miss a environment setting here? I just want Zulip to send all mails als chat@server.domain and not the noreply@chat-test.server.domain

NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS: "chat@server.domain" replace to SETTING_NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS: "chat@server.domain"

life saver for me :)

thanks dude

Have similar issue, after registration of organization mails from: seems to change from ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR to some other one and for me sendgrid sending is breaking. Is there any way to lock mails From: field to some value independent from organization?

I have this
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'mail@hossted.com'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.sendgrid.net'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'apikey'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EXTERNAL_HOST = 'real_hostname'
NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS = 'mail@hossted.com'
ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR = 'mail@hossted.com'

but based on logs it seems its sending mails from some other from: mail address after successful registration of organization
