    While running "dpkg-reconfigure postfix"

    Other destinations to accept mail for (blank for none): <-- server1.example.com, localhost.example.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost

    But in my package configuration i have , , where the above calls for localhost.localdomain.

    Should I accept as is or enter localhost.localdomain between the , ,

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I performed a dig localhost.localdomain

    root@www:/home/albert# dig localhost.localdomain

    ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> localhost.localdomain
    ;; global options: printcmd

    ---------------------------------
    So I did insert it.
    Was I correct in doing so?

    ---------------------------------------
    A dig localhost resulted in:

    root@www:/home/albert# dig localhost

    ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> localhost
    ;; global options: printcmd

    ------------------------
    Is this the correct?

    Trying to learn this stuff.

    Enter localhost.localdomain.
    What's in /etc/hosts?
