Issue hostname set correctly, but still localhost.localdomain in email source

obendev

Basic Pleskian
Hey, all of my output is as expected. The hostname is set, main.cf is also set correctly, there is no mailname file and 'hostnamectl status' also outputs the correct hostname.
When I telnet my IP, I also get the correct hostname.
I made sure to follow all these steps: Mail is not working properly on a Plesk server: incorrect hostname is used

But in the source of the actual E-Mail, there's still a part which says: 'Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by plesk.example.tld (Postfix)'

This is the actual E-Mail

Okay so I added the following line to the file /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user
Code:
$localhost_name = $myhostname;
And this changed at least something.
Before (Without the added line to amavis config):
Code:
Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
    by plesk.example.tld (Postfix)
After (With the added line to amavis config):
Code:
Received: from plesk.example.tld (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
    by plesk.example.tld (Postfix)
My /etc/hosts file:
Code:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
78.46.0.0       plesk.example.tld plesk

That is a correct behaviour.
I suppose you sent the mail using Webmail.
Try configuring a mail client and send from there... you will get different headers.
That header just says the origin of the mail and since you used Webmail localhost is correct.

ok jes, but mxtoolbox sayed bad delivery.
spf failed and dkim failed.
i m not shure why, because the problem are after email security.

SPF Failed for IP - 127.0.0.1 and
DKIM Signature Did Not Verify


and how can edit first post in the forum? its not possible _ _"
 
I am having this same issue. All of my primary domains, show the localhost in the received. I have the PTR set to their ip address, and that throws flags on the receive side. It’s only for the servers Primary Domains. How can I fix that. Do I need to set up a sub domain, and use it.
 
I would like to use just one domain for my emails and configure all other domains to use that domain for incoming and out going. I would do mail.domain.com but it appears that Plesk uses that, to magically get all the domains on a server, to work. But, I have an extra domain name, and could use it just for emails. I also have extra ip’s, a it would be on a dedicated ip.

Should I do that. The other domains emails work, and I have a ptr record for them, and my rdns pointing to their domain name. For email host.

Auto Connect works good, even on iPhones. So, I really don’t want to re-invent the wheel, so to say.

But, my primary domains each have the first mentioned, issue. I have combed the web and this community for help. And, I could not find anything to resolve the issue. I have been attempting to get emails to working correctly for a week, and now I am at the end of the rope, so I have to bug you guys. :) thanks in advance.
