hi,
I have just set up an Ubuntu 14.04 and installed postfix using
aptitude install postfix.
When I send an e-mail (as root) to a gmail account it arrives from
root@localhost
I tried to configure it to send as r...@example.com but the only way I
managed to make it work isn't really right. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I
had
myorigin = /etc/mailname
and /etc/mailname had example.com in it but that did not help.
I tried setting
myorigin = example.com
and tried
myorigin = $mydomain
but I still got the mail from root@localhost.
The only way I could convince it to send from r...@example.com was to add
162.243.46.210 example.com
to the /etc/hosts file. This is not really acceptable as example.com
should resolve to another IP address and not to this machine.
Am I doing something incorrectly?
How could I convince postfix to use the content of mydomain as the
domain name when sending e-mail?
regards
Gabor
