As I said, this is set in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user mail:~# grep -inr mydomain /etc/amavis/* /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user:14:$mydomain='myserverdomain.net'; /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id:3:# $mydomain is used just for convenience in the config files and it is not /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id:7:#chomp($mydomain = `head -n 1 /etc/mailname`); /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id:15:# Default local domains to $mydomain and all subdomains. Remember to /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id:16:# override or redefine this if $mydomain is changed later in the config /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults:49:#$X_HEADER_LINE = "by amavisd-new at $mydomain"; # after-default /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults:124:$virus_admin = "postmaster\@$mydomain"; # due to D_DISCARD default /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults:127:#$X_HEADER_LINE = "amavisd.$mydomain"; I forget why it was necessary to do this. It seems to me the best solution would be to edit /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id so that it is set earlier. However, I don't like the value produced by chomp($mydomain = `head -n 1 /etc/mailname`); because that produces mail.myserverdomtain.net and that would cause the MTA to bounce the mail because [email protected] does not exist. Only [email protected] does. And I don't know enough perl to fix that. Could you suggest what I can use? Thanks Mark! Simon
