Greetings list
Platform: FC4
Package(s): Postfix 2.2.2, Dovecot 0.99.14
I've iterated... I've Googled... and now posting ;-)
When emailing from the above stand-alone internet email server, the
originating email addy renders as:
user at localhost.d0main.tld
Where does the 'localhost' in localhost.d0main.tld come from?
I've also hashed out the $myorigin reference to localhost in:
/etc/postfix/main.cf.default,
// which I know shouldn't be done but needed to prove that Postfix
wasn't loading this var from main.cf.default as the preferred default
And even after restarting Postfix,
~ /usr/sbin/postconf -d | grep -i 'localhost'
still reports:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
Also:
-----8<----------8<----------8<-----
~ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.10 h0st.d0main.tld h0st
-----8<----------8<----------8<-----
~ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = h0st.d0main.tld
mydomain = d0main.tld
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks_style = host
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
-----8<----------8<----------8<-----
I'd appreciate any insight into this.

Blessings,
Stuart
