Updating email address doesn't work

Description

Currently, my mail address (christoph at osgeo dot org) is being forwarded to (christoph dot baudson at wheregroup dot com). I want to forward it to a new address (christoph at baudson dot de).

Here's what I did

  • Visited https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py
  • Updated data. Now, the new address is correctly displayed. So I assume the LDAP entry has been updated successfully.
  • Sent a test mail to christoph at osgeo dot org. Still being forwarded to the old address. Expected it to be sent to the new address.

Any idea what can be done?

The OSGeo mailer refers to a simple aliases text-file for these virtual addresses. I'll adjust your entry accordingly, please test and close the ticket upon success.

Thanks a lot for addressing this ticket!

Unfortunately, another (worse) problem arose: Sending mail to christoph at osgeo dot org fails altogether. I got this error message from MAILER-DAEMON

Sender address rejected: Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Any idea?

Hi, you forgot to include the relevant part of the message:

host baudson.de[IP-address] said: 554 <...sender...>: Sender address rejected: Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Actually, that's something you'll have to figure on your own EMail relay, I don't have access to that one ;-)

Thanks Martin for your incredible responsiveness.

I should read and understand the error message before posting it.

It works!
