Dear Postfix-users,

I've tried setting up postfix on a server, behind a netcomm router
that uses NAT. I'm running my own DNS server.

All outgoing mail from the server is written as

userlocalhost.localdomain

rather than

useraerosoul.com.au

For example, here is mail that I sent to myself on the machine:

[aharwoodhome ~]$ mail aharwoodaerosoul.com.au
Subject: adfa
asdfad
asdf
.
Cc:
[aharwoodhome ~]$ mail
Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help.
"/var/spool/mail/aharwood": 1 message 1 new

I can't seem to make it put the proper origin on the return address.
Among other things, I have this in my main.cf:

myhostname = home.aerosoul.com.au
mydomain = aerosoul.com.au
myorigin = $mydomain
proxy_interfaces = 210.15.217.001 # this is the external IP address
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain,
        mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain home.$mydomain
mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
relay_domains =

Anyone out there that can help?
