postfix help and off the blacklist

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   A quick update first:

   The hacked/compromised server isn't getting spam out anymore (I told 
sendmail to block outgoing mail from 'apache', which is only a 
stop-gap). So now I am working on getting the mail and websites over to 
the new server.

   Also, as Alex suggested, I've disabled root login over SSH on the new 
server. As Vlad suggested I'll be installing some form of IDS on the new 
server (FAM I've seen but I'll compare it to Tripwire before I choose 
one). I'm still worried that it's a script somewhere so I'm going to 
move the websites one at a time and see if the spam trying to be sent 
stops when one is moved. If so it will narrow down what I have to look for.

   Today's question is about Postfix:

   I've finally made the switch from Sendmail after many people here 
suggested I do so. Of course now I am having trouble getting virtual 
hosting working. I'm confused about what I should be using as the 
'myhostname' and such.

   I admit my problems are largely due to me being rather tired and 
frustrated about this whole mess. I've read the Postfix docs on virtual 
hosting but keep messing it up. As of now, mail is relaying through the 
server so postfix is working.

   Any help, even just a pointer to a more concise how-to for someone 
trying to virtual host multiple domains pointed at system users would be 
great. The postfix docs keep talking about using LDAP, SQL and such 
which just keeps throwing me for a loop.

   Thanks!!

Madison
