Your local domain needs to match the domain for the machine. For example, google.ca is a domain; if your machine happened to be called 'gmail', then the FQDN is "gmail.google.ca". You don't need to "declare" it anywhere if you're using a valid FQDN for your machine, and the FQDN is in a valid DNS server; otherwise, it needs to be set in /etc/hosts, as you had guessed. I have no idea if that will solve your problem, but it wouldn't surprise me: postfix probably just can't find 'selby.tld', because it doesn't exist anywhere. Try changing 'selby.tld' to your machine's name, restart postfix, and see what happens... -- [email protected] mailing list
