postfix and hostname



Hi,

Running squeeze on my VPS, and using postfix/dovecot/cyrus as my MTA,
for a number of users, who pick up mail via IMAP (mostly Thunderbird).
Postfix is configured to accept mail for user@vanderhoff.org, as well as
a few other domains.

The hostname for the server is set to vanderhoff.org.uk. This has been
running fine for a number of years, but I am rationalising my domains,
and want to change the hostname to vanderhoff.org. Nothing to do with
the MTA really, or so I thought.

I expected this to be as simple as editing /etc/hostname, and updating
the live hostname via the hostname command. I now have no mail coming
in. Changing the hostname back to the .uk version reverts operation to
normal.

So some misconfiguration somewhere, but I'm blowed if I can find it. Has
anyone any hints, please?

Cheers, Tony
