postfix calculates the domainname from your hostname. so a hostname like my.hostname.com results in a domainname hostname.com. if your hostname is simply my, there is no way to get the domain name. so either specify your hostname as bascule.excession or change the entries mydomain and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf. btw: please disable the chroot settings of postfix. This stuff brings only confusion to the user. Why handle two resolv.conf etc. and even Wietse Venema says: only experienced users should use chroot. > note i haven't touched ../main.cf or ../main.cf.default and i don't see > why i should since i didn't touch them on a previous box i installed 9.0 > on, the only difference here is that this is a clean install and the > other install was an upgrade from 8.2 > > so if there any ideas beyond 'this is really simple man just issue > #hostname mycroft.excession' > and 'edit /etc/sysconfig/network' or 'edit /etc/hosts' or 'you can't be > doing it right', i would be grateful to hear them > > bascule Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------ H E L I X Gesellschaft für Software & Engineering mbH ------------------------------------------------------------ Hanauer Landstrasse 52 Telefon (069) 4789 35-30 60314 Frankfurt am Main Telefax (069) 4789 35-44 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.helix-gmbh.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------
