Hi,
I'm currently trying SL6 with postfix for local mail delivery (no "real" mail
server).
But I am wondering, why the sender is always "[email protected]"? In
/etc/postfix/main.cf is everything on it's default. "myhostname" is not set,
what should postfix make getting the hostname via gethostname() as written in
the comments.
A hostname and search domain is configured for the system:
# hostname -f
vm01.test.local
I know, I can set "myhostname", but why isn't postfix getting this by itself?
Regards,

Hello,
If I were to hazard a guess, I would suspect that /etc/hosts is to blame
here. If your hostname is on the 127.0.0.1 line, then I've periodically
seen things get a bit wonky. I'd be curious what /etc/hosts looks like,
as well as, postconf -d |grep my and seeing how those match up.
