Accept domain using ip address instead?

Post by TheBuzzer »

Hi

I realized I could not set ip address as the accepted domain for the mails.

right now I am trying to test to see how good the spam filter is by making my qmail forward mail to the ip of the spam filter. however the email address becomes something like buzz@123.121.123.123 when i forward

Thanks

You may need to edit /etc/postfix/transports directly.

I will open a bug for this.

Altough it is officially supported to send mail to an IP instead of domain it is not commonly used or even allowed by ISP's.

Sending from an 'domain' that is an IP is generaly blocked by all ISP's so building this into E.F.A. is a bit useless as you can only use it for testing purposses.
For that I would suggest using a subdomain (test.yourdomain.ext) so you can use real world tests.
