this is a sendmail thing.

There is one solution that I prefer, in your /etc/hosts add a hostname alias with your hostname followed by a .

ie

1.2.3.4 hostname hostname.

or:

Issue with FQDN. (Fully qualified domain name)

Add alias for host.

xxx.xxx.xx.xx hostname hostname.you.com.

You can either follow Bill's suggestion to make an entry in the /etc/hosts file.

If that is from sendmail you can also edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file

This file should contain entries all the possible names that this host might by known.

there you can specify like

hp
hp.com

Then just restart the sendmail so that those messages are prevented in future.

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

1. vi /etc/hosts
ex:
1.2.3.4 myhost. myhost.mydomain.com
2.vi /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.com
nameserver 1.2.3.4
3.vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=return UNA
VAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]

hope it work for u.
