Bug Description

I can share a directory, add a email as target, then message waiting to accept.

In my email I find the reason:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
  <email address hidden>
    SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<email address hidden>:
    host mx1.gmx.net [213.165.64.102]: 550-5.7.1 {mx035} The recipient does not accept mails from 'gmx.de' over foreign mailservers
    550 5.7.1 ( http://portal.gmx.net/serverrules )

my account runs a <email address hidden>.
My wife here account is <email address hidden>

Ubuntu one sends an email by its own mailserver with sender <email address hidden> to <email address hidden>.

GMX.DE reject the email because it looks like spam when another mail server sends as sender gmx.de.

Any suggestion?

Our servers should not pretend to send the messages from user's e-mail addresses. In case strict SPF rules are used, the messages will be marked as spam or be completely discarded. The servers can also be configured not to accept any messages that originate on another machines but have From header set to the email of the user.

We need to start sending email with something like <email address hidden> or similar, while stating the email of the user somewhere within the message.

SPF checks the address in MAIL FROM: command in the SMTP transaction. It does not check the From: header in the message. So, you can use a "legitimate" address in ubuntu.com or canonical.com domain in MAIL FROM:, and the originating user's address in the From: header. This will be clear to the receiving user and will make SPF happy.

Even better if the sharing URL was visible to the sharer, so that [s]he could send it to the recipient via IM or other means.

hi mariusz

I do not know why this problem exists, it is a startes problem.

from your error message I copied:
From: <email address hidden>
To: <email address hidden>

you can clear see who is the sended and who is addressed.
The problem is that the sender server wp.pl NEVER sended this email, it was send by ubuntu one.
There for it says it is SPAM.
And wp.pl is correct someone is sended an email with the sender address wp.pl.

I already have this problem for 1,5 years and ubuntu one does not seems to take this serious.

Regards

hi,

WRONG you can share your folders with any user who is NOT using an email address by wp.pl (<email address hidden>)
