postfix: what's local?
I just installed postfix (debian unstable, kernel 2.2.17, dial-up
system) and I don't understand what should I use as domain and local
destinations.
as typical dial-up system I am not connected 24/7 (but close:-) and I
have no name (ISP gives me some name but that changes everytime I
connect along with IP).
normally (on local network) I call this machine jojda and I've also
set up dhs account and have jojda.2y.net address dynamically updated
with current IP.
this is my current configuration:
jojda:/etc/postfix# grep jojda *
main.cf:myhostname = jojda
main.cf:myorigin = jojda.2y.net
main.cf:destinations = jojda, localhost
however, postfix is confused, when I send email it tries to connect to
jojda.2y.net and then get jojda back as hostname, compalins and does not
send email, here's relevant part of syslog:
------------------ syslog ------------------

----------------- end of syslog ------------
given the circumstances, how should I set up the domain and hostnames
in postfix?
would including jojda.2y.net in destinations (in main.cf) be the
proper solution?
TIA
