hello people,
-i am running FreeBSD 4.4release with postfix-1.1.11.
-in main.cf i have set myhostname/mydomain/myorigin
-postconf -n shows me that all of those parameters are set correctly.

still postfix seems to get *its hostname* from gethostname(). when i do 
"hostname <FQDN>" suddenly it starts working. i'd prefer to set the 
hostname in main.cf though.

on my linux box it works like charm. i have run diff on both main.cf's 
(might sound ridiculous yes...) and have found nothing which could cause 
the different behaviour.

did i mention that some freemailers do not receive mail from this box 
because they cannot resolve its address?!

anyone who has experienced similar problems? any hints will be highly 
appreciated.


ps. if this question is moron ignore it.
