According to 'postconf -d', myhostname is set to genex.localdomain where genex

When I look in /etc/postfix/main.cf,
myhostname = genex.example1.com
postconf -d shows compiled-in defaults, not your settings.
Use "postconf myhostname" to show the current setting as used
by postfix.
Is it even neccessary to have a hostname
Yes.
at all since the days of having seperate machines for seperate daemons are
behind us for most websites? After all, mail.example1.com, www.example1.com,
pop3.example1.com,... are all the same machine these days.
Maybe in your shop... Postfix is used in a wide variety of
environments, some of them have more than one computer.
