FSCK ME!

Yeah, that solved the issue.

So… why would that cause the issue?

Normally I’d leave this to the experts while I focus on my day job, but since 
this is my SOHO domain, I have to ask these questions which of course 3 months 
from now, I’ll forget and have to do it all over again.
Do I want to eventually run this with chroot?

Thanks again to everyone.

I have two mail servers.
One is an older release of Postfix and I’m building a replacement for that

I did a test where I sent the same message to both servers.

In /etc/var/maillog on the one server, when the incoming message is being 
delivered, I see the hostname connect.
On the new server, I see unknown connected.

Both have DNS set up the same.

So what is happening during the initial connection? Why is one able to capture 
the hostname, and the other is not?
Where should I be looking in the logs or services to be running? Or ports to be 
open on my firewall?

One of the differences between the two servers is that on the second server I 
am trying to set up email for virtual users where I have followed some 
instructions using dovecot and MariaDB (mySQL).  Bellow is part of the logs in 
the new server which isn’t happening on the old server.  Maybe I mucked up 
something?  Ok, I know I mucked something up.

Thx

Turn off debug logging.  Normal logs are sufficient.
Turn off chroot.  Maybe your chroot environment is incomplete,
preventing DNS from working correctly.
