Hi,
Did you get anywhere with this? We are having exactly the same issue. When we use our old 'sendgrid' account instead of amazon SES the 'vacation' auto reply gets sent and received by our gmail account which are using to test. When we switch back to Amazon and monitor the postfix log, we get a bounce reply saying 'empty from address'.

hi, i am gavins colleague so i should be able to help with this. Strangely enough, no bounced message ever arrives in the inbox. When tailing the maillog it is apparent that the system has attempted to send the autoreply (See lines below) but i dont get an amazon bounce message to my inbox or to my SNS endpoint (although it is setup and working). I think this might be because the 'from' header is missing entirely so theres nowhere for the bounce message to go.

Im not sure what seiverules you are referring to? im using the manageseive plugin within roundcube and other than that any of the sieve settings will be still as default when iredmail was installed. Where would the sieve rules be stored?

There are some basic settings in etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf pertaining to sieve and there is also the 'sieve' directory within '/var/vmail/' but that folder only contains 1 file called 'dovecot.sieve.sample' which i dont think is active.

please let me know what you need me to provide (location?)

i had a look through this thread to see if there was anything that could be related http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic6582 … n-ses.html and came across a few settings i dont have in my dovecot.conf such as;

managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave

also i dont have a block specifically for the sieve protocol (e.g. the following)

protocol sieve {

}

although i dont know if im supposed to...

i cant understand why sieve wouldnt be setting the FROM header automatically

Zhang, thanks for the response.

i dont know if this is relevant (im pretty sure its not) but my default filter set name appears to be 'roundcube' and not 'Managesieve'. I followed your instructions regardless and here are the answers;

1) yes actually, if i send from a local account on the same server i do get an autoreply. The headers of the email i get back are;

(i have replaced my server domain with XXXXXXXXXX and my from/to address domain to ZZZZ for privacy)

2) I couldn't see anywhere to edit the sieve as plaintext within roundcube so i edited the roundcube.sieve file directly on the server to add in the 'from' rule. when i tried from an external account the results was exactly the same. i was tailing the mail log and got the same message;

Jul  8 11:07:52 server postfix/smtp[23474]: 8C4F74216A: to=<igootest@yahoo.co.uk>, relay=email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[54.72.42.170]:25, delay=0.38, delays=0.14/0.01/0.21/0.01, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com[54.72.42.170] said: 501 Invalid MAIL FROM address provided (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

Also, i checked it again from a local address and it still worked correctly. The email FROM header had changed slightly however as the first time it was like this;

From: <test@ZZZZ.co.uk>

and after changing the sieverule as per your instructions it looked like this;

From: test@ZZZZ.co.uk

Personally, the only thing i can see which may be problematic is the "Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON>" header. I know SES is pretty strict with things like the return path so im not sure if that has to match the 'from' header in order to validate. Having said that, when i send a standard email manually (via roundcube) the headers look like this when i recieve it;

Return-Path: <000001471577e1cc-16602601-2ae5-4d1c-92ee-1f2bc8fecf36-000000@eu-west-1.amazonses.com>
From: test@XXXX.co.uk
To: XXXXX@gmail.com

so it would seem that amazon actually overwrites the return-path anyway before relaying it.

very confusing...

yes, the ZZZZ.co.uk domain is verified with amazon and hosted in iredmail. i can send a standard email from ben@ZZZZ.co.uk to anywhere and it arrives no problem.

The issue appears to be unique to the autoreply that is attempted.

you've lost me...

there are no mailing lists? *ALL* domains in question are hosted on my iredmail server, they are just 'verified' in amazon SES dashboard which is required for every sending domain. I relay all messages through amazon SES via postfix. also SES doesnt 'host' any domains, its just an SMTP relay.

and for some reason it doesnt like the 'from' header for autoreplies

its probably going to be easier if i pay for support again
