Yes, but I wanted to give the reason why also. Just in case it changes the solution or recommendation. >> MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME='mail.mydomain.com' in > The above seems to indicate the used variable is not recognized, at least > in that config file... Mmm, I've found this: Indeed. But strangely, despite this, it still works. The hostname in the SMTP greeting _is_ changed. Bizarre. > 1.2.3.
