Hi, I want postfix to send email from a domain name different to the one that it really is. This is because I have no real (as in on the net) domain associated with it, so I am going to use my website address so that the from field resolves and relays are happy to pass on my mail. I have: set myhostname to: hitbox.arameus.net set mydomainname to: arameus.net and added this line: masquerade_domains=3Dhitbox.arameus.net So my theory is that postfix will send from uid@arameus.net then restarted postfix. (postfix reload). A quick 'postconf -d | grep my' reveals that postfix is infact ignoring completely the value I have given it! why so? Sorry if this is a really obvoius mistake, but I am new to mail server administration, and I have checked the documentation and FreeBSD mailinglist without luck. Someone has suggested relaying between these two domains, so I added relay_domains =3D arameus.net Still no luck Im afraid. Thanks all!
