Domain Name in postfix on a Local Network

[Bill Schmitt (SW)]

I've been struggling through setting up a mail server on my home 
network, with the goal to be running an imap server. As I've indicated 
on some other related postings I've made, networking is probably my 
weakest side and I need a little help.

I have no real internet name for the box, which I call "schfrbsd" (named 
with a dot at the end in rc.conf hostname="schfrbsd."). Using that name, 
I've managed to get Samba working and a local web server, but when I 
come to mail, I get confused. The network is made up of a bunch of XP 
Home Machines, the FreeBSD 4.9 machine, and a Netgear Router/Firewall 
that also runs DHCP. I don't think it's relevant here, but the workgroup 
name I use for Samba and Windows Peer Networking is "olympia". The 
router is called schrout, if that helps.

When I come to configuring postfix, there are entries for myhostname and 
mydomain. I believe myhostname should be schbsd. What do I use for 
mydomain? Where should I be naming the domain?

Thanks for any help.
Bill
