Thanks for the feedback on the Dovecot issue. It is great knowing that I'll be approaching the Dovecot volunteers prepared in the sense of Postfix being in fairly good shape.
I slept with one nagging question about my hostname... > >/etc/hostname ># begin /etc/hostname > example.com ># eof > >/etc/mailname ># begin /etc/mailname > example.com ># eof > and that it is only 'example.com' instead of something like 'mail.example.com' or 'foo.example.com' I omitted such a longer name because this machine does so much more than mail or foo. But did I abuse the intent of the file? I noticed that the package installed did some wacky stuff when it generated mydestination, like with the localhost.com being generated. It's somewhat irrelevant because it ended up being commented out of my main.cf anyway, but was my choice for a simplified hostname a hazardous move or a bad practice? > ># Verified that myhostname is set to the FQDN, and it is >myhostname = example.com ># End of verified myhostname section > > ># There is a table in MySQL that stores the aliases so are ># these next two lines even relevant??? >alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases >alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases >myorigin = /etc/mailname > ># I was asked to modify this parameter >#mydestination = example.com, localhost.com, , localhost >mydestination = localhost ># end of this modified section >
