    The problem is that uu-3-166.buydomains.com cannot be resolved. Do you have that FQDN somewhere in /etc/postfix/main.cf or /etc/mailname? What's the output of
    Code:
    hostname
    and
    Code:
    hostname -f
    ?
    Also, can you post the output of
    Code:
    telnet localhost 25
    ?

    MZO : The output below and I already type ehlo localhost:

    [root@server etc]# telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
    Escape character is '^]'.

    Your Postfix identifies itself as uu-3-166.buydomains.com. Can you give me the information I requested in my previous post?

    possible mail problem??

    Falko,

    following is the output from my system.

    suse1:/etc/apache2 # hostname
    suse1
    suse1:/etc/apache2 # hostname -f
    suse1.mileswork.com
    suse1:/etc/apache2 # telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 suse1.mw.com ESMTP Postfix
    quit
    221 Bye
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    suse1:/etc/apache2 #

    I believe that there will be problem. How do I resolve the name conflict "suse1.mileswork.com" and "suse1.mw.com"? It should be "suse1.mileswork.com"

    Thanks for your help.

    =============================trucated

    The following variable is assign:
    mydomain = mw.com

    Can I change this directly and restart the postfix demon again? If yes what is the command?

    or is there somethings else I need to do?

    Thanks,
    Jaf

    Please run
    Code:
    postconf -e 'mydomain = server.puspakom.strangle.net'
    postconf -e 'myhostname = $mydomain'
    and restart Postfix.

    falko Super Moderator Howtoforge Staff

    Run
    Code:
    postconf -e 'mydomain = mileswork.com'
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart
    BTW: it would have been better if you had started a new thread for this issue. This thread here is confusing now because it handles mzo's problem and yours...

    Simply run
    Code:
    chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail
    This means that the users are unknown on the recipient's server.
