Topic: iRedMail tries to send using @127.0.0.1

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.9.5-1
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 8.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MySql
- Web server: Apache2
====

Hi all, sorry if this is a very stupid question, but I've just started with email and I've encountered an issue that I can't seem to fix.

I managed to set up iRedMail successfully. However, when I send an email, it tries to send with postmaster@127.0.0.1

When I click on the send button, it gives the error:

SMTP Error (501): Failed to set sender "postmaster@127.0.0.1" (5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax).

I can't seem to fix this... any help?

Thanks!

Did you send from Roundcube webmail? if yes, please logout first, then login will full email address as login username.

Worked, thanks!!

Is there a way to make it so that you only need to log in with your username instead of your full email on round cube?

Uncomment below line in /opt/www/roundcubemail/config/config.inc.php:

$config['username_domain'] =
