Hello List, I have a problem setting a config variable. My goal is to achieve the behaviour that Postfix reads the 'myorigin' config variable from the /etc/mailname file. I have found some descriptions (for example, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and http://linux.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/linuxadmin-l/postfix-error-4272661) saying 'put the full path name of your file into the config file, and Postfix will read the first line of that file and use this value: myorigin = /etc/mailname.' Unfortunately, I could not find exact references as to which version(s) this rule applies.
If I try to do that -> postfix tells me that the main.cf has a config error, and it exactly mentions the slash character of the '/etc/mailname' value of the 'myorigin' variable. If that matters: postconf -d says that myorigin has default '$myhostname'. Postfix version is 2.7.1. on a Debian squeeze. Thanks in advance for your help.
