Thanks. I think you're probably right about this. So far, I've tried editing /etc/hostname to read, 'shelleysoldbox.mydomain.dyndns.org', restarting /etc/init.d/hostname.sh and /etc/init.d/courier-mta . I'm still having the same problem as before, and from the logs, it looks like Courier is still trying to send the mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I guess I'll have to do some further configuration to get things working. The weird thing is, with the other Ubuntu server I have, none of this has been a problem. It seems to be fine sending email without a FQDN. All further suggestions still very much welcome!
