Bugzilla's email notification with the wrong email address (2.50 KB, application/mbox)

Description Tadej Janež 2012-11-21 10:02:07 UTC
Description of problem:
My email address is tadej.janez.si, however, Bugzilla sends the email notifications to tadej.janez.si.

Hence, my Postfix rejects the messages with the following error:
Nov 19 12:14:43 salomon postfix/smtpd[14506]: connect from mx1-phx2.redhat.com[209.132.183.26]
Nov 19 12:14:44 salomon postfix/smtpd[14506]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mx1-phx2.redhat.com[209.132.183.26]: 554 5.7.1 <tadej.janez.si>: Relay access denied; from=<bugzilla> to=<tadej.janez.si> proto=ESMTP helo=<mx1-phx2.redhat.com>
Nov 19 12:14:44 salomon postfix/smtpd[14506]: disconnect from mx1-phx2.redhat.com[209.132.183.26]

Any ideas what is going on here?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Bugzilla 4.2.4-6.1

Additional information:
Indeed, tadej.hicsalta.si and www.hicsalta.si share the same IP address, but I receive all other emails fine.

Can you please provide more headers? I am pretty sure the problem is not with Bugzilla, since it doesn't know about tadej.janez.si

Yesterday, I changed my Postfix configuration to also accept emails for the domain www.hicsalta.si, so I could receive email notifications for this bug report.

I've attached the source of the email which Bugzilla sent me notify me about the "needinfo" state of the bug.

Is this enough information or do you need more?

Sorry, I forgot that you weren't receiving e-mail.

That is great. I am following this up with our engineering teams to see if I can identify the problem. As it is Thanksgiving weekend in the US, it will probably be next week until I have more information.

No problem, I understand.

The below is a paraphrase of what our engineering operations team have said, in relation to this issue.


It [mail being sent to the wrong address] just means your service provider (or yourself) don't have your domain configured correct:

$ host tadej.hicsalta.si
tadej.hicsalta.si is an alias for www.hicsalta.si.
www.hicsalta.si has address 193.77.29.243

Your domain doesn't have a proper MX record. 
$ dig tadej.hicsalta.si MX

; <<>> DiG 9.9.1-P3-RedHat-9.9.1-9.P3.fc17 <<>> tadej.hicsalta.si MX

Looks like NOTABUG.

thanks for pointing this out. I'll try to fix the MX record and let you know if this resolves my issue.

I've finally had the time to fix the MX record for the domain tadej.hicsalta.si. 

I'm confirming that all Bugzilla emails now have the correct email address.

Thanks and best regards,
Tadej
