PostFix Configuration
I've been reading through a bunch of Postfix tutorial and docs and I have a simple questions for everyone here
when it says in the main.cf myorigin = $myhostname (default) myorigin = $mydomain (probably desirable) do I change myorigin to my actualy FQDN i registered or leave it as $mydomain same question for this configuration mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain www.$mydomain ftp.$mydomain do I leave these as is or change them to my actualy domain and host name ? Thanks :scratch: triki :scratch: |

myhostname = (put your full host name like) myhostname = hostname.domain.com then you have an entry like mydomain = (put your domain name without any host like) mydomain = domain.com the last entry you refer to can be left alone as it will just plug in the values you entered for mydomain and myhostname. Hope this helps. Post fix is pretty easy once you get the basics down. |
You should leave them as is. They are strings (variables) and so will be 'filled in' with your real hostname.
If you want to forge your 'from' field (to make it look like you're emailing from work, or whatever) just do that in your email program. |
you still have to put in a hostname and a domain though.
