Hi all,
I've got two issues with the postfix installation i have:
First some background: i use postfix as mail delivery system on my laptop
which get connected trough lan-DHCP or diallup, so get ip and name
resolutio changing all the time.
My issues are:
1. Postfix copied the name resolution config file in
/var/spool/postfix/etc , which is a problem as my resolv.conf does change
when i change my connection. So, i hit that postfix cant resolve name if i
dont copy back the correct file in /var/spool/.. The solution i am
thinking is to setup bind on the local machine, but i believe there is a
nicer solution. Does someone have an idea ?
2. Some servers refuse to accept the emails i deliver (freebsd.org for
exemple) because the name used in the config (myhostname) is not a public
one, so the remote server refuse the HELO: myhostname, saying the name
does not exist. Faking this by a real name is possible, but then i'll
have to hack it by defining it in the /etc/hosts, i dont think it is a
nice solution either. Does someone have a better solution for this ?
Thanks for any help,
Cheers,
JeF
