Ok, that fixed it.

I have a question regarding the suggested implementation for this.
Currently, I chop off the test.spam part in the SQL query:

MYSQL_AUXOPTIONS_FIELD CONCAT("mailhost=",SUBSTRING_INDEX(mailhost,
'.test.spam', 1))

But I'm just afraid that something will change in the future and this will
break.  I'm not sure what could possibly change, but I like to try to keep
things like this out.  The thing is that I want to modify the current DB
schema as little as possible.  Having the mailhost value in the DB be an
FQDN does two things: 1) it removes any possible ambiguity as to where the
mail should be going and 2) it pleases our chosen MTA.

We could also rename our servers to a FQDN, but that is also kind of
non-standard in our environment.  How is this typically setup?

Thanks, Sam.


Michael
