If you are running courier esmtpd and after sending an email you get an error response like this:

550 Don't like your HELO/EHLO. Hostname must contain a dot.

Never gotten, because my courier well configured.

It is NOT a courier installation issue, but rather the

No a configuration issue from Courier.

way the hostname is configured for the machine courier is running on.

If you execute the "hostname" command, and just get:

foo

Right

instead of:

foo.bar.com

...which is right because you should use

hostname -f

for this.

...the simplest thing to do (at least on a SuSE 9.2 machine) is to execute, as root:

# hostname foo.bar.com

Verify:

# hostname foo.bar.com # hostname -s foo

This will break many things, including mutt and many other Programs.

No courier specific configuration should be necessary.

Maybe, but if you run apache it will not more start. Same for proftpd and sshd
