Topic: I need to change my hostname

Version 0.9.8
Centos 7
MySQL
Apache
non Pro

I have finally got my Ired mail server running, and I need to change my server name.  I am running this mail server on a private network.  This server will never see an outside network or internet.  when I set up the server, I named it utmesh.local.mesh.  local.mesh is the domain name that the rest of my private network uses.  I am now realizing my problem where to send an email, I need to set the "to" address as "user@mail.utmesh.local.mesh" how can I shorten this down to something like user@utmesh?  just to shed some light on this, the network this is on is an emergency backup data network that is put into use in situations where normal communications are down.

Re: I need to change my hostname

*) If this is still a new/fresh server, maybe consider reinstalling server OS and iRedMail.
*) Another solution: try to add your new mail domain name as an alias domain of "mail.utmesh.local.mesh". FYI: https://docs.iredmail.org/sql.add.alias.domain.html

Thanks, It was a fresh install, so that's what I did already, I reinstalled the OS and iRedMail.  thanks for the info, now I just need to turn off all encryption (discussion in another thread).
