Try, mydomain = example.com postfix reload

When I send an e-mail (as root) to a gmail account it arrives from root@localhost I tried to configure it to send as [email protected] but the only way I managed to make it work isn't really right. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I had myorigin = /etc/mailname and /etc/mailname had example.com in it but that did not help. I tried setting myorigin = example.com and tried myorigin = $mydomain but I still got the mail from root@localhost. The only way I could convince it to send from [email protected] was to add 162.243.46.210 example.com to the /etc/hosts file. This is not really acceptable as example.com should resolve to another IP address and not to this machine. Am I doing something incorrectly? How could I convince postfix to use the content of mydomain as the domain name when sending e-mail? regards Gabor
