Well, I'd like the domain name to be the same everywhere. hostname -f and whois <IP> (that currently returns the ISP's info) and /etc/hosts and host <IP> and a DNS lookup and everything else I can't think of right now should all report the same thing: the name of the domain I'm trying to set up this server for.

As yet, I'm looking at hostname -f (plain hostname gets the host right), and ping'ing and SSH'ing using /etc/hosts (that works). I've set my local DNS to look first at hosts, then at DNS.

The DNS server isn't set up yet. mailname is just the host. postfix is the SMTP server -- editing its config doesn't seem to do anything.

I've moved to a new domain, and I copied lots of data from the old server. The domain name I see is that of the old server.
