[SUN FIRE X4100 M2] ilom2 based mailnotifications vs Postfix not received

807557Oct 23 2009
Recently I've started configuring e-mail notifications for our (Sun Fire) servers for a better overview in server (hardware)states and I noticed that servers with elom or ilom version 2.x notifications will not arrive.

I've checked the mailserver logs and found this notifications;

Oct 21 17:25:22 <mailserver> postfix/smtpd[27918]: [ID 197553 mail.info] disconnect from unknown[172.29.1.49]
Oct 21 17:25:22 <mailserver> postfix/smtpd[28267]: [ID 197553 mail.info] connect from unknown[172.29.1.49]
Oct 21 17:25:22 <mailserver> postfix/smtpd[28267]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: Illegal address syntax from unknown[172.29.1.49] in MAIL command: <ilom-alert@172.29.1.49>;

Previously our X4150 machines posted the same errors but after upgrading to ilom3.0 I could set a sender e-mail address which I've configured with like 'ilom-servername@domain.com'. Postfix process this messages and I received some test messages.

But an older server, a X4100 M2, installed with latest bios/ilom updates (ilom 2) isn't capable to send its notifications via e-mail to our support mailbox. I've configured 3 event levels and wants to be notified via e-mail. There is no ilom 3.x firmware available right now but I want to get notified by this machine. I couldn't find the configuration option to configure the sender address, like it is in ilom 3. Checked this by http and over ssh.

I could change the Postfix configuration to accept numeric addresses but I would prefer to tackle this "problem" by the server.

Found the same problem in an older topic; http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5301508. Unfortunately there are no replies in this case. Could someone help me with this issue?
