I have suse-9.2 system being used to educate people about email. We use kmail for this and they can only send email to the people on the suse machine. The machine has the name (let's say) mickei.
No when I set the reply-to address in kmail to 'roes@mickei' this is altered by the post system to 'roes@domain.test' (where domain.test is an example, but it illustrates the fqdn of the machine).
I seriously doubth that. Reply-to is in the body of the message as far as Postfix is concerned, and as all good MTAs, Postfix doesn't touch the body, unless it's neccessary for the propagation over SMTP. Can you try to telnet to that Postfix server to see if it actually does what you think? You could also up the debug level of the smtpd and maybe the cleanup processes to see what they do.
Does anyone know a setting that tells postfix to leave the reply-to field alone, so in my case the reply-to remains set to roes@mickei?
No need for such a setting. Theo -- Theo v.
