Localhost and 127.0.0.1 are both always referring to the local machine. Markis, you won’t need to add this to your ‘/etc/hosts’ as this is default behaviour.

Does it matter if I'm using the URL as opposed the IP number? I have localhost set to 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/host file and it is currently working under these settings (just curious about the change).

It should be the same if I should do a reverse dns lookup of your ip-address. The hostname should be the name your computer is given by your ISP.

1 – It doesn’t matter really, it works both ways.
2 – It looks like it, but regular users using your mailserver cannot login via the shell.

Now to my questions, I have two, completely unrelated ones: 1) from reading the comments in the main.cf file (not your comments, but the comments already present at installation) I understand that the unknown_local_recipient_reject_code is only relevant if local_recipient_maps is set. Which it is not by default. Did you mean to set that also? Or did I (probably, since I am not a server-expert) misunderstand something? 2) It seems unsafe to keep the postfix username and password in the three mysql_*.cf files created here. Is it?

I don’t know what’s wrong :(
