Mail Issue - Server name issues

    I am having issues changing my hostname/domain so it is a DNS name that other mail servers can resolve as messages are being bounced.

    Background - E-mail does work if I send to the domains hosted. As well, e-mail can be replied to in round cube webmail just fine. I am using a PHP script on a domain and this is where the problem is occurring. I am trying to send a confirmation to the user that has filled out the form. This is ISPConifg on a Fedora Core 6 Box.

    I know that this is a hostname issue and that is should be an actual domain name appended onto the hostname but right now it is firestorm.localdomain

    hostname -f
    firestorm.localdomain

    cat /etc/hosts
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    10.1.250.5 firestorm.localdomain firestorm

    [root@firestorm postfix]# cat local-host-names
    ###################################
    #
    # ISPConfig local-host-names Configuration File

    ###################################
    localhost
    firestorm.localdomain
    localhost.firestorm.compassit.ca
    localhost.compassit.ca
    localhost.localdomain
    www.compassit.ca
    compassit.ca
    #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ####

    If I change the hostname to firestorm.compassit.ca (which is my actual local domain) in etc/hosts and in /etc/postfix/local-host-names then my e-mail doesn't work at all. It says that the type A record could not be found.

    Ok, so here is the mail error before I make the changes to the hostname
    Jan 13 08:13:26 firestorm postfix/smtp[20274]: D784DB016F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx.svc.telus.net[199.185.220.200]:25, delay=0.45, delays=0.11/0.02/0.22/0.1, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (host mx.svc.telus.net[199.185.220.200] said: 450 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in reply to RCPT TO command))


    And here is the error once I change the hostname around to firestorm.compassit.ca and restart postfix:
    Jan 13 08:31:38 firestorm postfix/smtp[20693]: 7EE4AB0170: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.05, delays=0.01/0/0.04/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=firestorm.localdomain type=A: Host not found)

    It seems that something is still looking for firestorm.localdomain but I am not sure where or what other files to configure. (The mail can now be delivered to the ISP's mail system but internal e-mail going to the domain no longer works - same error as above)

    Am I missing some other settings for this or is my thinking off?

    Thanks in advance

    1) Undo the changes you made in /etc/hosts. There must be a line:

    To solve the isuue, run these commands:

    replace server1.example.com with your full hostname in the above commands.

    Then edit the file /etc/hosts and append the your full domainname to the line:

    10.1.250.5 firestorm.localdomain firestorm

    Then edit postfix main.cf and replace localhost.localdomain with your full hostname. Then restart postfix.

    Thanks for the info Till, however, after making the changes you suggested I know get a different error. This is when sending an e-mail outside of the server into a hosted domain.

    Jan 13 13:57:43 firestorm postfix/smtp[25808]: E1B25B0174: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.24, delays=0.16/0/0.08/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for firestorm.compassit.ca loops back to myself)

    As well Till, I did not have a localhost.localdomain in the postfix main.cf file (output below - nothing shows up for localhost.localdomain)

    [root@firestorm postfix]# cat main.cf | grep localhost
    #inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
    # The default is $myhostname + localhost.$mydomain. On a mail domain
    #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
    ##mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
    ##mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain,


    Any thoughts now?

    Thanks,

    Please add:

    firestorm.compassit.ca

    at the end of the file

    /etc/postfix/local-host-names

    and restart postfix.
