That was indeed the problem. The output of `hostname -f` was "localhost",
indicating how dovecot gets that result as well for its "hostdomain".
Changing the first line of /etc/hosts to
127.0.0.1 full.domain.name nameofthisparticularcomputer localhost
, `dovecot --hostdomain` now returns "full.domain.name", as I wanted.
Thanks a lot for your quick responses Christian!
Kind regards,
Arie
