[RndTbl] Mail server config on Ubuntu (Postfix?)

[Kevin McGregor]

I had set it to
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

I changed it to
mydestination = $myhostname, $myhostname.$mydomain, localhost.$mydomain,
localhost

And that seems to work. Not sure what the heck I was doing before.

Thanks Adam & Wyatt.
