Hi, in Debian, local_domains gets seeded with "@:localhost" plus whatever the local administrator has entered to augment the list of local_domains.
I am usually entering the short hostname of the host in that list, so that my local_domains usually ends up being like "@:localhost:myhost", knowing that @ gets expanded to myhost.domain.example by virtue of primary_hostname. This allows stupid local apps to send mail to localuser@myhost instead of [email protected] to have localuser aliased away in the /etc/aliases file. Without myhost in local_domains, Mail to localuser@myhost would not be considered local and probably sent away to a smarthost without the virtue of having the local alias file consulted. Am I doing things wrong by adding the short host name to local_domains? Why does @ only expand to the FQDN and not to FQDN and the short host name? Why is there not q special expansion item expanding to the short host name?
