Here's someone who wasn't singing the praises of libnss-myhostname recently: https://lists.debian.org/[email protected] exim takes its HELO/EHLO from canonical_hostname on the 127.0.1.1 line. (I don't use postfix but think it does the same). This could cause problems and, while most ISPs accept any old rubbish as a HELO/EHLO, it was enough to put me of using libnss-myhostname. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
