Modify your '/etc/hosts' file and add the entry 'ora1.localdomain' to the line starting with '127.0.0.1'.

This should fool the mail subsystem to deliver it locally properly..

Hi Fadia,

The easiest way is to change your /etc/hosts.
The first line should be:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain ora1
With that, ora1 will be an alias for localhost and the domain will be localdomain.

Cheers,

Renarios
