    All,

    I have a Debian host that used to be called dnimail.
    I have since changed the name to mail.
    I did this by editing the /etc/host and /etc/hostname file.

    when i ping dnimail i get "unknown host dnimail"
    when I ping mail i get icmp echos and replies.

    the problem is when i try to send mail to a user from using teh command line
    "mail"
     it tries to send the mail to the user@dnimail which obviously does not
    exist.

    I am using postfix, and I double checked the postfix configuration files. None
    of them contain the word dnimail.

    I have also stopped and restarted postfix....

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    thanks
    -William
