I have a RHEL server where I want to create a mail server so I can send myself alerts whenever X process have problems.
Disclaimer:
Im a programmer thats been forced to do IT. So I'm trying my best here.
The problem:
While configuring Postfix it asks for $myhostname which apparently must be in the format hostname.mydomain.com. I do have my $hostname but I dont know the "mydomain" part.
Do "mydomain" is something I create or its something I should get my the networks admins since the server is connected to my company's network?
If you need output from specific commands let me know.
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts:
Thanks in advance!

When I connect to any IRC server, it's usually my ISP IP address/hostname. I own a domain, but I'm not using it for anything (no web hosting service or server). Is it possible for me to use my domain as my IRC hostname instead of my regular ISP hostname? (0 Replies)
I'm working on a rather large script atm (it already takes 9 arguments). As such, I need to obtain both a server name and domain from the FQDN. From this, I want to both populate the hostname of the server, as well as the domain line in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Obviously, this isn't working. I... (10 Replies)

DNSBLOG(8postfix)DNSBLOG(8postfix)NAME
dnsblog - Postfix DNS white/blacklist logger
SYNOPSIS
dnsblog [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The dnsblog(8) server implements an ad-hoc DNS white/blacklist lookup service. This may eventually be replaced by an UDP client that is
built directly into the postscreen(8) server.
PROTOCOL
With each connection, the dnsblog(8) server receives a DNS white/blacklist domain name, IP address, and an ID. If the address is listed
under the DNS white/blacklist, the dnsblog(8) server logs the match and replies with the query arguments plus an address list with the
resulting IP addresses separated by whitespace. Otherwise it replies with the query arguments plus an empty address list. Finally, The
dnsblog(8) server closes the connection.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as dnsblog(8) processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix
reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.
