8. FAQs: 1. the logon username is the username and password of Ubuntu, but does not include the root account.

2. how to add a new user, sudo adduser, zhangsan, so that the account and password of zhangsan can be added.

3. the zhangsan@server.unknown is displayed after login and the Mail cannot be sent normally

Check the configuration of the/etc/hosts and/etc/hostname files. The most important thing is/etc/hostname.

If my server name is server domain name is com, then the mailbox address of my server is XXXX@server.com

Ping server.com in Ubuntu to resolve the IP address of my server correctly. this resolution is not performed by the DNS on the internet.

It is resolved according to the settings in the local/etc/hosts.

Modify/etc/hostname on my server and set it to server.com. then log on to openwebmail.

Recognize my server email address as a XXXXX@server.com.
