"The problem with trust isn't the liars but rather the foolish and the ignorant. No level of signing will cure human faliability. To trust a source of information as 'true' is impossible and so, in turn, the notion of trust is impossible to separate from that of truth."
I have spent entirely too many hours of my life debugging postfix oddities. At the moment, my issue is with a "Return-Path" being set to something I don't want it to be: it's using the equivilant of hostname -f instead of dnsdomainname . I won't pretend that I understand why this is happening, but it's a PITA, because Jess's phone uses Return-Path to reply to messages.
In this case, I've kind of worked around the issue by just setting the resulting addresses to point to me. @bia.crschmidt.net -> crschmidt@crschmidt.net .. But man oh man, do i hate mail.
Why do people make files that have one line of text? Why not just include it in the config file? Do lots of programs use /etc/mailname? what for? what purpose? What is the point?
Ah well. My return-path being wrong was corrected by editing myorigin, which was actually set to /etc/mailname. For whatever reason. Goofy computers. I hope no one lost mail because of that...
