Question
Configuring Postfix to use my domain
I’ve got a postfix config that’s sending emails just fine, except that the sender address is root@lamp-512mb-lon1-01.localdomain, which isn’t using my domain.
The config file looks like the following:
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
myhostname = lamp-512mb-lon1-01.localdomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = $myhostname, skytracker.co, lamp-512mb-lon1-01.localdomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_protocols = all
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
and /etc/mailname contains the domain that I would like to use to send emails from.
The command that I’m testing my email sending from is:
echo “This is the body of the email” | mail -s “This is the subject line” xyz@hotmail.co.uk
Any help would be appreciated!
