how to change watchdog sender address?

Sub-7

Currently, watchdog sends as (FQDN) watchdog@mx.tld.de and ends up in quarantine for me.

How can I change the sending address to watchdog@tld.de without interfering with DNS?

`# Enable watchdog (watchdog-mailcow) to restart unhealthy containers

USE_WATCHDOG=y

Send watchdog notifications by mail (sent from watchdog@MAILCOW_HOSTNAME)

CAUTION:

1. You should use external recipients

2. Mails are sent unsigned (no DKIM)

3. If you use DMARC, create a separate DMARC policy (“v=DMARC1; p=none;” in _dmarc.MAILCOW_HOSTNAME)`

It is explained in what you have posted…

I had the same problem, I simply added to the mailbox where watchdog sends whitelisted alerts
*@mx.tld.de
and emails are sent directly to the inbox

However that makes little sense, if your dovecot e.g. is not responding, you won’t get notified. This is the reason why you should use an external email address.
