Okay, this is pissing me off.

I've got a machine, currently "reddwarf", that used to be "nebula". I've -- obviously -- changed its name. "nebula" isn't mentioned in /etc/hosts, and the IP resolves (both reverse and forward) to reddwarf. /etc/hostname is reddwarf. The "live" hostname (eg. the output of "hostname") is reddwarf. /etc/mailname is reddwarf. A "strace -f postfix" doesn't show the word "nebula" anywhere. "nebula" isn't mentioned in any of the postfix config files; reddwarf is. I've made sure that the postfix processes have restarted. Hell: I've dpkg --purge'd postfix (after installing exim), and then installed postfix again from scratch.

THEN WHY THE FLOCK, WHEN I TELNET TO PORT 25, DOES IT THINK IT'S NEBULA?!

Suggestions as to why this might be would go a long way toward saving the small amount of sanity I have left.

Thanks,

-Ken
