Hi.

When doing a postfix reconfigure/debconf... (at least when choosing the local
host only templates), the current hostname is not set to myhostname (but the
previous value is retained).

This is in most cases ok, but the hostname might have change in the meantime.

Cheers,
Chris.

Postfix finds itself in the unfun situation of trying to keep people happy
regardless of whether they manually edit main.cf, or just use debconf.

As such, myhostname only gets set if /etc/hostname has changed, or we are
creating main.cf.

Uhm... well but that's what I've had done (changing /etc/hostname)?

Cheers,
