Not in 9.3 it didn't. .local will fail to work properly in 9.3.
I'm sorry, for some reason I got it into my head that you were running 9.3. But it's still true in 10.0, the default is linux.site. If you have .local in there, you either upgraded from an older installation and kept the old hostname, or you entered it manually
What should I name my machine? I've never been clear on that. Or rather what style should I use? My postfix book says to use an fqdn, but I haven't done that in the past. Can I just make it something like bob, or george, or something like that. I could use my fqdn jjfiii dot com, but for some reason I'm a bit reluctant to do that, I guess for if/when I change the machine out in the future. Tks, Jim
