I have MAMP Pro installed and recently configured a local virtual host called: test.local
.
Now my OSX terminal prompt says
test:~ username$
I just noticed also when an email bounced back the raw header also shows test.local:
Received: from cpe-111-111-111-111.lns1.lon.somehost.com ([222.222.222.2222]:22222 helo=testhost.local)
I've tried running…
scutil --set LocalHostName properHostName
…but it hasn't had an effect. Also, if I do override it to the original proper hostname, will there be negative side effects?

Doing this fixed it:
sudo hostname properhostname.local
And I haven't noticed any side-effects yet. I can still access the virtual host using
testhost.local
. Works after a MAMP restart also.
