I recently switched from using msmtp to Postfix as MTA on one of my servers. unattended-upgrades used to send notifications with the content of
/etc/hostname
(webserver.example.org
), but now it uses the base domain for which the machine serves a website (example.org
).
Postfix itself is configured to use the full hostname (myhostname = webserver.example.org
), which is reflected in the headers, and /etc/mailname
also contains the full hostname.
Where does unattended-upgrades pick up the base domain, and why does it do so suddenly after changing to a different MTA?
