    Reading the how-to and i have a few questions to ask:

    1. when asked to configure eth:0 it asks for a host name, do I use my registered
    web address, or can I just use a anything like navop.server.com or do I need
    to use part of my web address.

    2. Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS, it says the following:
    make sure that you use the correct values for mydomain, myhostname, and
    mydestination),
    What values do they equal to.

    Thanks

    You can make up a hostname like server1.example.com and put that one into /etc/hosts, or you buy a "technical" domain (that you don't use for web sites and email) and use that one for the server.

    If your hostname is server1.example.com, I'd use example.com for mydomain, server1.example.com for myhostname, and example.com, server1.example.com, localhost, and localhost.localdomain for mydestination.
