I have a remote server running CentOS-6.4 in another country. I was running sendmail/procmail on this machine but recently changed to postfix/amavis/clamd .
Email is no longer being sent from the remote server (eg by ddclient), I assume because it is sent from ddclient@localhost.localdomain . (I give the entries in /var/log/maillog below.) The full name of the server is alfred.gayleard.eu . I believe that my ISP in Italy (where the server is situated) requires me to give my From address as gayle...@alice.it when sending email, though I may be wrong about that. I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me the changes I need to make to the files in /etc/postfix . The changes I've made to main.cf are given in this diff file: --------------------------------------------- [tim@alfred postfix]$ diff main.cf main.cf.orig 77,78d76 < #myhostname = localhost.localdomain < myhostname = alfred.gayleard.eu 86,87d83 < #mydomain = localdomain < mydomain = gayleard.eu 104d99 < myorigin = alice.it 121,122c116 < #inet_interfaces = localhost < inet_interfaces = all --- > inet_interfaces = localhost 170c164 < #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost --- > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost 174d167 < mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain 274d266 < mynetworks = 192.168.2.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 305d296 < relay_domains = 429d419 < home_mailbox = Maildir/ 687,691d676 < < # added by TGM < content_filter=amavisfeed:[127.0.0.1]:10024 --------------------------------------------- Apologies for this rather long request for help. I would be most grateful for any help or advice you might be able to give me.
