Hello, My installation works fine. I am wanting to understand how Postfix works better so that I can extend my installation's capabilities in the future.
I have Postfix: The Definitive Guide ebook that I bought and downloaded from O'Reilly and have been using it, as well as the postfix.org website. I have also used Hildebrandt's book, but left it in the US in lieu of my weightless e-book. On my system, lets say the /etc/hostname is assigned to be 'example'. This is not a FQDN, which would require $myhostname to be set as something more exact. In my main.cf, I have a line: myhostname = example.com but when I run postconf -d myhostname, I get an output that I didn't expect: myhostname = example.localdomain My question is where did the word localdomain come from and what exactly does it mean? On this machine, the domain name it hosts (example.com) happens to also be the machine hostname (example) in this case. Because of this, I'm not sure with 'example' is being returned by postconf. Anybody willing to help clarify this for me? Thanks very much, Timothy D. Legg
