Hi,
I have setup postfix to receive mail on port 25 and I am getting mail fine from my ISP. Now I'm setting up fetchmail to grab mail from another account using POP3.
Fetchmail grabs the mail from the account fine and sends it to the SMTP port where postfix accepts it fine.
The problem I have is that the mail never hits my mailbox. When I look at the logs I can see it's trying (correctly?) to send mail to
dave@localhost.my.domain.com but it can't resolve localhost.my.domain.com to my linux box.
My resolv.conf points at my router (which presumably forwards requests to my ISPs DNS servers.
Do I need to set up DNS on my linux box or is there a simpler way I can do this??
Second question - How (and What) do I need to configre to allow the sending of mail from my linux box (ether via my pop3 account which provides SMTP for outgoing mail or my ISP smtp account)
Thanks for your help
Dave
