I’m still trying to understand why emails sent with farm mailto fail to arrive to my inbox when sent from nora but not when sent from LF. And OTOH emails sent from jane (on nora) do arrive to my inbox.

Mail-related settings on Jane are:

ADMINS: [['Luc Saffre', 'luc@saffre-rumma.net']]
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = noreply@mylino.net
EMAIL_BACKEND = django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
EMAIL_HOST = localhost
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD =
EMAIL_HOST_USER =
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_SSL_CERTFILE = None
EMAIL_SSL_KEYFILE = None
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = [jane]
EMAIL_TIMEOUT = None
EMAIL_USE_LOCALTIME = False
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
SERVER_EMAIL = noreply@mylino.net

Here is the output of journalctl:

$ journalctl -f -n 40 … märts 21 09:15:06 nora jane[2713141]: Send email ‘[jane] Status report’ from noreply@mylino.net to [‘luc@saffre-rumma.net’] märts 21 09:15:06 nora postfix/smtpd[2713200]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] märts 21 09:15:06 nora postfix/smtpd[2713200]: ACFF0AA03F: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] märts 21 09:15:06 nora postfix/cleanup[2713203]: ACFF0AA03F: message-id=<177408450669.2713141.1866157075527590826@nora> märts 21 09:15:06 nora postfix/smtpd[2713200]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=5 märts 21 09:15:06 nora postfix/qmgr[2673489]: ACFF0AA03F: from=<noreply@mylino.net>, size=5291, nrcpt=1 (queue active) märts 21 09:15:06 nora jane[2713141]: Done manage.py status -s luc@saffre-rumma.net (PID 2713141) märts 21 09:15:08 nora postfix/smtp[2713204]: ACFF0AA03F: to=<luc@saffre-rumma.net>, relay=smtp.zone.eu[85.234.244.110]:587, delay=1.5, delays=0.01/0.04/0.68/0.8, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Message queued as 19d0fad47370002b2c) märts 21 09:15:08 nora postfix/qmgr[2673489]: ACFF0AA03F: removed

The From header of an email received from Jane says:

From: luc@saffre-rumma.net
