Hi,

I'm currently setting up a mail server according to
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml and I don't understand
"Code Listing 2.2".

myhostname = $host.domain.name
mydomain = $domain.name

If this suppose to be a configuration for virtual hosts, than I don't
have a specific hostname or domain. I just have hostnames which are also
the domains for each virtual host. But they do I already specify
according to "Code Listing 10.9" in the virtual_mailbox_domains variable
in /etc/postfix/main.cf.

Can maybe somebody help me with this configuration?

Your domain can be any one of your domains. Your hostname should not match anything in your virtual file. When you set your origin use the hostname and not the domain. That'll make things less likely to screw up.

That how-to you're following sucks unless you're dead set on giving all accounts virtual mailman support. I can't say mine is written any better, but it will give you a much better system when you're done. Manually adding users via raw SQL will annoy you to no end after two weeks.

and hey the dev of Postfixadmin even reads the wiki.

kashani, thinking it's time to go freshen up his how-to again.
