I just installed postfix (debian unstable, kernel 2.2.17, dial-up system) and I don't understand what should I use as domain and local destinations.
as typical dial-up system I am not connected 24/7 (but close:-) and I have no name (ISP gives me some name but that changes everytime I connect along with IP). normally (on local network) I call this machine jojda and I've also set up dhs account and have jojda.2y.net address dynamically updated with current IP. this is my current configuration: jojda:/etc/postfix# grep jojda * main.cf:myhostname = jojda main.cf:myorigin = jojda.2y.net main.cf:destinations = jojda, localhost however, postfix is confused, when I send email it tries to connect to jojda.2y.net and then get jojda back as hostname, compalins and does not send email, here's relevant part of syslog: ------------------ syslog ------------------ Dec 9 00:39:14 jojda postfix/pickup[27820]: 85CA11D662: uid=1000 from=<erik> Dec 9 00:39:14 jojda postfix/cleanup[27952]: 85CA11D662: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dec 9 00:39:14 jojda postfix/qmgr[27821]: 85CA11D662: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=296, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtpd[27955]: connect from dialup-209.244.99.56.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net[209.244.99.56] Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtp[27954]: warning: host jojda.2y.net[209.244.99.56] greeted me with my own hostname jojda Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtp[27954]: warning: host jojda.2y.net[209.244.99.56] replied to HELO/EHLO with my own hostname jojda Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtp[27954]: 85CA11D662: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=jojda.2y.net[209.244.99.56], delay=2, status=bounce d (mail for jojda.2y.net loops back to myself) Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtpd[27955]: lost connection after EHLO from dialup-209.244.99.56.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net[209.244.99.56] Dec 9 00:39:16 jojda postfix/smtpd[27955]: disconnect from dialup-209.244.99.56.SanFrancisco1.Level3.net[209.244.99.56] ----------------- end of syslog ------------ given the circumstances, how should I set up the domain and hostnames in postfix? would including jojda.2y.net in destinations (in main.cf) be the proper solution?
