myhostname = mail.hlacik.eu
*service postfix restart*
[root@sx1 postfix]# postconf -d myhostname
*myhostname = sx1.labs.hlacik.eu*
What is wrong??


What is in:

/etc/hosts
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethn (where n is the interface number)

???

postconf -d does not do what you think it does. I guess the machine is called
sx1.labs.hlacik.eu.

Try postconf -n myhostname

Is that the name a gethostname() would show? (a gethostname would either
return the same as the hostname command or a host command on the IP, I
think). Then it makes sense.
mail.hlacik.eu points to another machine. You do not want to send out any
mail from your machine with a name that is pointing somewhere else.

I know you're testing. but once you get a "stable" config, restart is
often unnecessary. in most cases a 'postfix reload' is enough (and even
that isn't necessary in general, as most postfix services are relatively
short lived and will reread the conf at some time). of course, if you
change an IP:port, ..., you need to restart.

the 'd' in "-d" stands for "default". Use

# postconf myhostname
or
# postconf -n myhostname
or
# postconf -h myhostname

instead.
