I have been trying to resolve for a couple of months using multiple different configurations.

The local delivery to a Dovecot mailbox (originalto@domain.org) keeps the original sender (sender@gmail.com) in the FROM address. The remote delivery using SendGrid SMTP server via a virtual forward to (receiver@gmail.com) works if:

in smtp_header_checks if there is

/^From:(.*)$/   REPLACE From: no-reply@domain.org

and in main.cf

sender_canonical_classes = envelope_sender
smtp_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/smtp_header_checks

I have tried to add a reply-to to the header so that the receivers, who get the forwarded email, can reply to it.

In smtp_header_checks I put

/^From:(.*)$/  REPLACE Reply-To:$1<br>
/^From:(.*)$/   REPLACE From: no-reply@domain.org

but this gives a 550 Error

Feb 14 13:40:03 club-jowett-vm postfix/smtp[12857]: BB2AD65E91: replace: header From:  <sender@gmail.com>: From: no-reply@domain.org  Reply-To: <sender@gmail.com>
Feb 14 13:40:03 t-vm postfix/smtp[12857]: BB2AD65E91: to=<receiver@gmail.com>, orig_to=<originalto@domain.org>, relay=smtp.sendgrid.net[54.228.39.88]:587, delay=2.3, delays=1.6/0.19/0.48/0.05, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host smtp.sendgrid.net[54.228.39.88] said: 550 The from address does not match a verified Sender Identity. Mail cannot be sent until this error is resolved. Visit https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/sender-identity/ to see the Sender Identity requirements (in reply to end of DATA command))

I have tried other configurations one of which added the reply-to but some receivers rejected the email because of multiple ReplyTo headers.

I have also tried /^From:(.*)$/ PREPEND Reply-To:$1 which gives the same 550 error.

Has anyone a configuration that works, please?

  • Did you resolve this? I've been banging my head against the same problem for days. It seems like it would be a fairly common use case. – danielj Jul 31 '23 at 17:03
  • Sadly no. I suspect the lack of a solution is there to block spoofing and spam. I live in hope. – kcfez Aug 01 '23 at 19:53
