Courier always uses the FQDN or what it thinks what the FQDN is. Type "hostname -f" on the command line to see what the system FQDN is set to. On a debian system, you don't need to append the domain to /etc/hostname. Am am not a Debian admin but I have access to a debian machine with this config, verified this immediately. :) So there must be a way to specify the domain name the system lives in. Using the other methods pointed to in this thread solves the issue for this courier install as long as the FQDN does not change. I discourage from doing so because solving the symptoms is never a good idea if you can solve the cause. Make your system know it's own FQDN, it'll help you for this and possibly future issues. regards, Bernd -- There are only two things wrong with C++: The initial concept and the implementation. - Bertrand Meyer
