The local configuration is correct. I think that monit (indirectly) takes the hostname from /etc/hostname, and AFAIK, the rule under Debian is to put the nodename there, not the FQDN. FYI, my /etc/hosts contain: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 xvii.vinc17.org xvii [...] That's standard under Debian. > If the latter is the cause monit should probably just use "From: > monit" and let the local MTA qualify the mail correctly.
