Hello,
After a server crash, I re-installed postfix, cyrus-imapd, amavisd-new, spamassassin on a Centos 5.1 box. But, now mail system behaves somewhat different.
There is no problem with mail receiving/sending from/to internet.
Before the crash, mail system used to sent internal messages to root@example.com. But now, I can't receive internal messages as it tries to send them to root@server.example.com. I used the same postfix, cyrus-imapd, amavisd-new, /etc/aliases conf files from the previous setup.
Must be a configuration issue I overlook. Could anybody please tell me what to check?
Best wishes, Mufit
main.cf: mydomain = example.com myhostname = server.example.com mydestination = example.com ...
amavisd.conf $mydomain = 'example.com'; $myhostname = 'server.example.com';

In main.cf check this setting. Someone probably has a better answer then me but just for thought.
myorigin = $mydomain
hth.
<p> # SENDING MAIL # # The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted # mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname, # which is fine for small sites. If you run a domain with multiple # machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up # a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to # user@that.users.mailhost. # # For the sake of consistency between sender and recipient addresses, # myorigin also specifies the default domain name that is appended # to recipient addresses that have no @domain part. # #myorigin = $myhostname myorigin = $mydomain </p>

Thank you for your reply. But, it is already set as you told.
I installed CentOS to a formatted hard disk but used the same conf files for postfix, amavisd-new, cyrus-imapd, /etc/aliases from the previous setup. Somehow, mail system gets the "server name" as the "domain name" for the internal messages.
[root@server ~]# uname -n server.example.com [root@server ~]# hostname -d example.com [root@server ~]# hostname -f server.example.com [root@server ~]# hostname server.example.com
It looks names are configured correctly. I am stumped!
