Re: smtp server advanced delivery & fqdn settings

It doesn't trouble internal and does exactly what you want.

When mail is sent from my domain to external email addresses, it uses the
internal (non-routable) domain name , e.g.
mailserver.nonexistentdomain.loc,
which obviously causes mail to be rejected if it is checked for reverse
dns
lookup. If I use the external fqdn of mailserver.valid_domain.com in the
fqdn box (smtp virtual server properties - delivery options - advanced) ,
will that solve the problem & / or will it cause confusion for my DNS
records. In short, does this setting simply change the fqdn of outbound
smtp
messages or does it impact internal DNS name resolution ?

thanks,
