Hi,

Note that the sendmail binary is still being used to send outbound emails. Even if the daemon is not running (ie. you just disabled the startup of the daemon), you will still require it to send outgoing emails. Check your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for correctness:

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

Also, check your /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts (if used) on your name resolution.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello

You will have to put a dot (.) after your hostname in /etc/hosts file.

By doing this the local system itself become domain.

example of /etc/hosts

190.9.200.193 beta3 .

sounds like sendmail is still running.

You may want to kill sendmail or set the variable back to 1 then /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop. Then set the variable back to 0.

Let's see..
