MemberGday, signed up yesterday to this beautiful site. I'v wanted to learn system admin / linux for a while now and this site makes it so much easier to get into.
I have a question about the hostname and why its set as mail.yourdomain.com instead of say vps.yourdomain.com. Is there a reason it has to mail. ? I'v seen many other hostnames but rarely see mail.
Cheers,

hi Christopher, good to see you about.
mail.etc is just a default .. can be changed to whatever you like. Don't forget to reflect any config changes in your DNS settings too.
