In /etc/rc.conf my hostname is automatically entered. I realize this is the name of my computer given to me from my ISP. I purchased my domain kooper.ca. Should I change the hostname in /etc/rc.conf to hostname="dell.kooper.ca". If not, what would this be used for? I'm sure I should change it. I am attempting to install qmail again.
