Should I change my hostname to > "algonquinc.on.ca". You should not set up your qmail to receive mail destined to your ISP. If you have a fix IP name, then you should set up your machine so that `hostname`.`dnsdomainname` would give your machines fix ip name. If you have not, then you should set up a dns server on your machine, and configure qmail for a bogus name, and you can use qmail only for local use, but not for the internet, since the messages won't be delivered to you anyway.
