Domain name

[CLUTIER]

I have a HP UX 9000.
The system send to me mail like :
"unable to qualify my own domain name (toto) -- using short name ".

[T G Manikandan]

This is because you have not configured the system for a domain name.

To stop messages

you can just add a entry in your host file like

xx.xx.xx.xx polnec polnec.
i.e.
ip-address hostname hostname.

Here above polnec is the hostname and I have added an alias with dot to hostname
(polnec.)

Thanks

please add full domain in hosts file , it is not the problem with short name , my domain name is just three char:-

Set up these files:

/etc/mail/sendmail.cw

localhost
myserver
localhost
myserver
myserver.domain.com.au

/etc/resolv.conf file
# more /etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.com.au
nameserver 10.33.100.2
nameserver 10.43.100.3

# more /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return] dns [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]

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