hello since I can do so that it does not show localhost that I must modify
root [root@localhost.telefe.tdatacenter.com]

Hi jairo,
I am not sure what you are asking here.
do you have entry in /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

hi,

if you want to set masquerade to hide the local host in the email id, then set the DM option in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.
(in older versions it is DY )

At the command line, run this:

mailq -v -d|pg

this will show you the basic setup for sendmail on the system, including host and domain info.

Some files to check:

/etc/resolv.conf for name resolution order

/etc/hosts for hostname setup as state (make sure the fully qualified host name, i.e. with domain, is listed)

/etc/mail/sendmail.conf - check the DS parameter if you have an internal relay host to make sure it has been properly added.

If you make any changes, stop and restart the sendmail daemon:

/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

I modify this, and not have domain
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
Dj$w.telefe.tdatacenter.com

I must modify
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMtelefe.tdatacenter.com

my server of relay is:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSnms1.noctic.tdatacenter.net.ar

this is correct?

<# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain

You need this only if you do not have DNS setup for hostname reolution.

Rest of the settings are correct.

hi,

Two things:

The file to be changed is /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
(just in case you are trying to change /etc/sendmail.cf)

And also try restarting the sendmail daemon before sending the mail.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
