[1] http://oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/book/ch10_02.html#CH10-PGFID-4606 80 Courier always uses the FQDN or what it thinks what the FQDN is. Type hostname -f on the command line to see what the system FQDN is set to. On a debian system, you don't need to append the domain to /etc/hostname. Am am not a Debian admin but I have access to a debian machine with this config, verified this immediately. :) So there must be a way to specify the domain name the system lives in. Using the other methods pointed to in this thread solves the issue for this courier install as long as the FQDN does not change. I discourage from doing so because solving the symptoms is never a good idea if you can solve the cause. Make your system know it's own FQDN, it'll help you for this and possibly future issues. regards, Bernd -- There are only two things wrong with C++: The initial concept and the implementation. - Bertrand Meyer signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

Hi The answer to this one probably lies in /etc/hosts where I'm guessing the FQDN is found. From man 1 hostname on a Debian Etch system (and, I suppose, most other Linux platforms as well): THE FQDN You can’t change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn) or the DNS domain name (as returned by dnsdomainname) with this command. The FQDN of the system is the name that the resolver(3) returns for the host name. Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain name is the part after the first dot. Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in /etc/host.conf) how you can change it. Usually (if the hosts file is parsed before DNS or NIS) you can change it in /etc/hosts.
