Illegal email address in inbound emails

Hi

I am trying to set up event monitoring for HP iLO4. I tried SNMP, but it is so hard to map all the events and traps via the Event Rules due to how the HP iLO MIBs are structured. I would therefore like to integrate these events via email. There are so few events that it should not be an issue with volume. However, I have ran into another issue I need help to solve. The emails sent from the HP iLO interface to SNOW end up in the "Junk" table because of this error string: "Email set to ignored because of disallowed from address, email_address_filter_reason = Illegal address".

I think this is because the FROM address is based on the iLO hostname and contains a '.', these are the headers:

From:=?utf-8?q?iLO=20ILOCZ3641TXVD?=<ILOCZ3641TXVD.@ourdomain.com>
To:ourinstance@service-now.com

Is it possible to allow this address somehow? Emails like these worked fine with our previous event management system (Pagerduty).

Hi,

 

We used the workaround proposed in the KA above.

If you do not have access to it, I would recommend raising a HI/Support case

 

Thanks
