Setting up email - FQDN
I'm trying to set up my email and I was wondering what I should use as the FQDN.
I seems as if I have a choice between:
* myhost.mysite.com
mysite.com</list>
myhost.mysite.com is the default option when 'Postfix Configuration' asks me for my 'System mail name'. Is it ok for me to use mysite.com instead of the default?
I'm totally new to this, so I get a bit nervous when I choose something different to the default option during installation
My preference would be to use mysite.com (I already used this when I set my reverse DNS). My guess is that both are acceptable, but I just wanted to confirm it with you guys, the experts
When it comes to email, I'd like to be certain.
Thanks

In this case, you do not necessarily need to set up an MX record for mysite.com; if you decide to, its value should be mysite.com.
