postfix and my domain name

[timgerr]

Hey all,
I have just built a Centos 5 server and it is working great. I have installed postfix and I have it working... sort of. I can send mail and it works fine but the domain is wrong. My domain name is dnti.com and in the test emails I see Testacct@localhost.dnti.com I can recieve emails fine but I have this localhost part that is bothering me. Here are the changes that I made to main.cf

myhostname = host.dnti.com
mydomain = dnti.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks_style = host

Here is what my hostfile looks like

127.0.0.1       host.dnti.com host    localhost.localdomain   localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.116   host.dnti.com dnti

Is there somting that I have done wrong????
not sure were this localhost.dnti.com is coming from.

Thanks,
timgerr

The adress 127.0.0.1 is never routed, so it doesn't make sense to put some other name to that adress.
Think about an adress being bound to an interface, not really a host, a machine.

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.116   host.dnti.com dnti

therefore, I would change main.cf to not include localhost - but I'm not sure on this.

myhostname = host.dnti.com
mydomain = dnti.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname
mynetworks_style = host

Thanks for the help, the problem was I didnt setup postfix, I needed to run the setup script.
