I've just noticed that hostname doesn't read /etc/hostname when called with

make it work.

Hi,
Running squeeze on my VPS, and using postfix/dovecot/cyrus as my MTA,
for a number of users, who pick up mail via IMAP (mostly Thunderbird).
Postfix is configured to accept mail for u...@vanderhoff.org, as well as
a few other domains.
The hostname for the server is set to vanderhoff.org.uk

Whatever you decide you want your FQDN to be, make sure your hostname
(as reported by /bin/hostname) is in fact `hotstuff'.
Just your hostname goes in hostname (simple enough)
Put your domain name in /etc/hosts put a line like:
192.168.1.1 server.dontUthink.com server
(or whatever IP you use instead of .1.1
Who is doing your DNS? Do you have a perminate link to the internet? That
will determin how to do
