binding toaster to one specified address

[Piotrek]

Hello,

I'm configuring a toaster on a server which has a few IP's. By default, toaster binds to all address, but I would like it to be available only from one of its aliased IP, especially I would like to change an IP address, from which mail is sent from my server, to one of its aliases, is it possible?

Regards
Peter

If you reference perldoc toaster-watcher.conf

you'll find that what you're looking for is covered by the sections similar to this:

#######################################
#           qmail-smtpd               #
#######################################

smtpd_listen_on_address         = all           # all, a hostname, or IP
smtpd_listen_on_port            = smtp          # smtp or a port number
smtpd_hostname                  = 0

# smtpd_hostname [ system | qmail | mail.example.com ]
#
#  system - will set to the systems hostname
#  qmail  - will set to contents of qmail/control/me
#  other  - anything else is considered to be a hostname

thanks for your answer, but I tried this, I put there this alias IP from there I want the mail to be sent but, in mail headers "Received: from" there is always a "primary" ip not selected alias.
Any ideas?

Just to verify -- the mail you're receiving is coming from the qmail setup, and not being sent by some other process on the box?

Verify that you have toaster-watcher.pl running every few minutes

show us your /var/service/smtp/run file

-- let me think about this some more; I might not be approaching it from the right angle.

whats /var/qmail/control/me set to?

to primary hostname,
Can I change this, or is it changed by toaster.watcher ?

yes; modify anything in this path -- which should be deriving its values from the toaster_hostname variable on the configs (and got set during initial install)
