Roman, I put a11d015.neo.rr.com as my hostname in Postfix and everything seems to work well, except I tried to subscribe to the questions list with this new setup but it doesn't seem to work. I get a response from majordomo saying that it is sending another email to my address as an authorization key but that email never arrives. Any ideas?
