Default External Email Getting Lost
I have followed the fantastic guide for Perfect Setup Fedora Core 4 and have successfully installed ISPConfig.
I can send internal mail and log in via the IMAP method using my email client and this seems to be working correctly (Also via the webmail).
However, I have also configured Fetchmail to collect my external email on some of my external accounts in order to test the sytem. These emails are being collected but are then getting bounced.
My hostname is set as 'linuxserver'
I have setup ISPConfig with a site 'jherrick.co.uk' which I also own as a domain name. I would like to get the whole sytem working correctly and so any help greatly appreciated!

Extract of my maillog

You should put linuxserver.linuxserver and localhost.linuxserver in /etc/hosts. Also put them at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart Postfix.

Falko,
Thanks very much for the quick reply. I have added as described and this has now allowed the mail through....but it has gone to my linux user 'jason' not 'web1_jason' as specified in my /etc/fetchmailrc
Any suggestions ??? Thanks again.

Code:
# /etc/fetchmailrc for system-wide daemon mode
# This file must be chmod 0600, owner fetchmail

# Daemon configuration
# These two are set in /etc/default/fetchmail
set daemon        300                # Poll every 5 minutes
set syslog                        # log through syslog facility
set postmaster  root

set no bouncemail                # avoid loss on 4xx errors
                                # on the other hand, 5xx errors get
                                # more dangerous...

##########################################################################
# Hosts to pool
##########################################################################

# Defaults ================================================= =============
# Set antispam to -1, since it is far safer to use that together with
# no bouncemail
defaults:
timeout 300
antispam -1
batchlimit 100

poll pop.hotpop.com protocol POP3 user "jasonherrick@hotpop.com" there with password "password" is web1_jason here fetchall

poll mail.btinternet.com protocol POP3 user "jasonherrick@btinternet.com" there with password "password" is web1_jason here fetchall

poll pop.freeserve.net protocol POP3 user "enact.freeserve.co.uk" there with password "password" is web1_jason here fetchall
