Thanks for the tip - I appreciate it. Worked nicely.

Bumping...

Seems like making a straight copy of a virtual machine should be easy with Proxmox, but so far I have not been able to figure out how to do it. I check the wiki page on duplicating virtual machines, which states at the top: Not sure exactly what they mean by that?

I guess I haven't communicated very well here. I realized that root@proxmox.localdomain won't resolve to anything. My question is, how do I get the system to send email to email@mycompany.com instead, or to quit sending these emails at all?

Here you go: This is the mail system at host proxmox.localdomain. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem...

Got it fixed. Turns out that Samba netbios won't work for me unless I use bridged networking for the guest. When I changed it to that and manually configured /etc/network/interfaces to give it a static IP, everything worked as before.

I have had occasion to set up many Debian servers over the years for things like web development and file sharing, but there are many areas which I've barely touched because they always "just worked" for me. One such area is that of hostnames. When I used to set up Debian - and indeed on my...
