What Hostname to keep for Ideal Mail Delivery
Hi Imperio & other Seniors...
I'm going on a bit of confusion...
Can you suggest in general case, what should we keep as out VPS Server's Hostname for a mulch-domain hosting ?
for eg: I have my domain name as mehargags.com.
Should I have my VPS hostname as mehargags.com or something like srv.mehargags.com ?
I'm asking this in the context of Email Delivery and other Authenticity checks that are done for IP's and Mailhosts.
I have one of my server's hostname set = domain.com but then I find that server isn't able to route mail to its own domain name with : exim -bt [email protected].
Or is there a better way to configure all this ?
Pls suggest

Re: What Hostname to keep for Ideal Mail Delivery
Hostname must be Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), such as hostname.expample.com
Personally i use host.domain.com
Personally i use host.domain.com

Re: What Hostname to keep for Ideal Mail Delivery
Sim,
I do understand hostname should be a resolvable FQDN, however that was not my question.
My Question is: Is it OK to have a domain.tld as your VPS's Hostname ? or will it have any consequences or other problems ?
I also want to know what generally people tend to do when they make their Servers/ VPS

Re: What Hostname to keep for Ideal Mail Delivery
I can't imagine you running into any issues not using a subdomain as a hostname though I haven't used it myself.
My convention is server***.domain.tld.
*** denotes the server number, eg. 013.

you don't seem to have your hostname setup properly.
pls check /etc/hostname and make proper entries.
Need to check your Exim configs too
