Greetings,
I realize that this isn't totally a FreeBSD problem but I figured this
would be a good place to start. I'm running stable, and have run into the
problem of my smtp servers not recognizing localhost. I've switched from
sendmail to postfix which offers much easier configuration with the same
results. I'm assuming this is not related to the mta but I could be wrong.
Fetchmail basically can't deliver my mail to me and tell me this:
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<darxpryte@localhost>
fetchmail: SMTP< 550 <darxpryte@localhost>... User unknown
fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address
`darxpryte@localhost'
I also notice that mail to darxpryte@localhost goes to the net where it
bounces because obviously there's nothing out there named localhost.
I've made sure I have a line in my hosts file that includes:
127.0.0.1 localhost gabrielle
I know that postfix uses "mydestination" to tell my machine what domains
to deliver locally. Here's what I have:
mydestination = localhost, localhost.u.washington.edu, localhost.yi.org
I'm using the hostname gabrielle.yi.org at the moment if that makes any
difference.
If I've missed anything please tell me. I realize that I've probably done
something to cause this since it was working before, but I have no idea
what it could have been at this point (the headache isn't helping much).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please send mail directly as I'm not
subbed to this list.
