Hey everyone, I've got a box that has a number of virtual hosts doing a bunch of different things. When I installed Debian Linux originally, I set the computer's hostname to 'homer' after everyone's favorite doughnut-eating symbol of Americana. I discovered just today that postfix isn't getting any outgoing email through to domains other than our own. Here's a typical entry from /var/log/mail.log Sep 27 12:40:11 homer postfix/smtp[13172]: 1A2622124: to=<wilson at visi.com>, relay=none, delay=120, status=deferred (connect to visi.com.mail8.psmtp.com[64.18.5.10]: Connection timed out) It occurred to me that I don't have a valid external DNS entry for homer and that might be the reason for the problem. I tried switching the computer's hostname to one of the several ones assigned to this system that do resolve. I changed /etc/hostname and the entry in /etc/postfix/main.cf, but as you can see from the log, postfix is still showing 'homer' as the hostname. I also restarted postfix and the networking system on this server. Logging in at the console shows the new hostname in the prompt. Any suggestions? I'm not sure what the next step would be. -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson at visi.com aim: tis270 public key: 0x8C0F8813 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
