Mail server
To enable a server to send mail to the outside world in a reliable way for all its users is to setup the domain name and the mail server correctly. We must make sure that the fully qualified domain name the mail server uses is matched by a DNS record pointing to the originating server.
There is more than one way to configure the mail domain a server uses when sending email, e.g. by setting
/etc/mailnameor writing it to the mail server's configuration. By default the hostname is used which can be set with the hostname tool.Debian's package installer prompts for a mailname during the installation process. For changing it later dpkg-reconfigure can be used. E.g.
# dpkg-reconfigure postfixwhen postfix is your mail server of choice.Post new comment
