Scrub Email Notification "To" Address

[joebad1]

Updated to 11.1 a week ago. Since then, the emails coming to me from the server that announce a scrub has started are showing an unknown "To" address of: root@flph829.prodigy.net (even though they actually come to my personal address). The second email from the server showing a scrub has finished are showing a correct "To" address.

I get nervous when I see unknown emails addresses in my messages. Can someone put me at ease?

I assume flph829.prodigy.net is the system's hostname? If so, it sounds like a bug that should be reported to bugs.freenas.org. If you do, post the issue number here.

Not sure how to check on that. Just for grins, I did a "Where is flph829.prodigy.net" on Google. It came up as an AT&T (not my ISP) address in Indianapolis (not my location or my VPN location).

You can type hostname.

 

[joebad1]

OK. Thanks.
Typing 'hostname' in the shell gives me "freenas.local"

That is weird and worth reporting. Please do so at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.

I noticed this too ever since I upgraded to 11.1 from 9.10. It's a bug, and I wrote a patch for it here:
https://github.com/freenas/freenas/pull/667

I'm assuming that fix will be available in the next update and should solve your problem, though I'm not sure for when the FreeNAS folks have scheduled the next update release.

Ahhh. Good to know. No need to report a new bug then?

Issue #27832 created.

I have seen this on my FreeNAS system as well, with similar seemingly random addresses but all ending in prodigy.net.
(I didn't report or investigate because that was right before my network issues, and I haven't finished reconfiguring everything yet. This will be a new install rather than an upgrade, so was waiting to see if the problem still presented.)
