Thanks Jermey,

I don't see where the localhost.localdomain fix would apply:

  [/etc/postfix]
  Itchy$ fgrep localhost.localdomain *

  [/etc/postfix]
  Itchy$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
  NETWORKING=yes
  HOSTNAME=Itchy
  GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Do I add some line to the network file?

Thanks again,
bp
