I accidentally entered the wrong hostname when I set up my email how do I go about changing it. Just a note I mean at the point where it says choose a hostname different from the server hostname.

Re: Entered wrong hostname for email on setup

You can change below parameters in Postfix config file (/etc/postfix/main.cf):

myhostname =
mydomain =
myorigin =

Another way is reinstalling iRedMail with proper settings if possible.

Re: Entered wrong hostname for email on setup

You can delete it with iRedAdmin (https://your_server/iredadmin/), then create the right one.

Don't forget to update /etc/postfix/aliases and /usr/share/apache2/iredadmin/settings.py with the correct webmaster email address.
