I have noticed that the name of my private server running dovecot appears
in email headers rather than the public-friendly name of my server.
Is there a method to specify an alternate server name for the dovecot
server to use for itself in the dovecot configuration files? I performed a
few Google searches and was not able to find the answer to my question.
