bamboo email "from" address is not FQDN

Question

Hi,

Seems that bamboo doesn't use it's FQDN when sending email, which causes issues with our SMTP server. (and, I suspect would do the same for others)

error shown is:

The mail settings you entered were not valid. Error thrown was: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 504 5.5.2 <bamboo>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

Could this be enabled, or could you suggest a workaround?

It seems sensible for bamboo to use a FQDN when sending email.

I have facing this issue on windows 2008 R2 Virtual Server, Can you suggest why this is happening.

Well, if anyone else is looking for a fix, something like this would work:

sudo postconf -e "smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname"

sudo postfix reload

the key section is 'permit_mynetworks' - I needed to add the bamboo IP to 'mynetworks'

But it would be great if Atlassian would make bamboo use a FQDN when sending emails.
