Why should anything in DNS resolve to any internal host? getmail goes out to the external mail provider and fetches e-mail, which then lands in the internal Dovecot. getmail is just a client and uses public DNS records for public servers (the external mail server that my hosting provider runs). Even if I set up Postfix inside my LAN, I can configure it to send e-mails that claim to come from the [email protected] domain I own. After all, those outbound e-mails are only going to be relayed to the external SMTP server from my hosting provider, so they will actually legitimately come from @example.org in the end. Why should the local hostnames matter at all? They do not need to be in any DNS as far as I know. Or have I missed something here? Regards, rdiez
