Account creation email not DMARC signed

[wavoe]

When I'm trying to send the first time the email notification for the account creation to for example gmail address, I get the message in the exim logs that the email couldn't be delivered due to the DMARC policy that is active for my hosting domain "mydomain.be".

When doing a password reset the email is sent and received correctly.

The main difference I see in the exim logs is the first time it's just like a command /usr/sbin/sendmail -t and second time it's like /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f "admin <[email protected]>"
So is this something which should be improved or is it something we can control ourself?

Thread 'Changing default e-mail from-address'

Oct 12, 2020

How do I change the e-mail adress where DirectAdmin mails are coming from, such as new user creation mails?

Currently they originate from [email protected] and I'd like it to be a different one, such as just [email protected]

How would I go about this? Thanks

that should do the trick normally.
