RE: Wrong Server Name in Qmail Header?
I had this problem before and I ended up just executing that ./config script again, which is located where you compiled qmail from. That took care of updating all the files necessary to make it work with the new domain name. Also if your DNS server is not configured properly, you can try running ./config-fast the.full.hostname where the.full.hostname is your qualified domain name like mail.newdomain.com. -Original Message- From: Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wrong Server Name in Qmail Header?

Wrong Server Name in Qmail Header?
Hello, Whenever my qmail server sends someone an email, the following line appears in the header: Received: from mail.mydomain.com (old_name.mydomain.com [216.216.216.216] (may be forged)) However, recently I changed my server name from old_name.mydomain.com to new_name.mydomain.com. Is there anything I can do to let qmail recognize the new server name? Is my only option a recompile or is there a file I can edit? Thanks!!! __ Do You Yahoo!?

How did you 'change' your name? On the machine itself? In DNS? In your qmail config? Please be more clear. Is there anything I can do to let qmail recognize the new server name? Is my only option a recompile or is there a file I can edit? No host or domainnames of any kind are hardcoded in qmail, so a recompile will not be necessary.
