Hello

as of lately I am encountering many of my servers where the default email account will send mail fine, but receives none, because the email is coming from "username@localhost"

Here is the header of an email the client sent me. You can see it lists her email address as "nora@localhost"

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from [192.168.1.101] (modemcable090.69-177-173.mc.videotron.ca. [173.177.69.90])

How do I fix this?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean, because the headers you've included look like the 'to' address is @localhost, and your post refers to a 'from' address @localhost.

Can you be more clear and more specific?

If this is an automatic email you may need to set the 'from' address in the configuration for whatver program is sending it.
