Hi,

I guess you need to enter your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the /etc/hosts file.

100.100.333.444 server.

Hi,

Edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and /etc/nsswitch.conf files to allow your system to resolve its own name.

Do a "nslookup" and see if your system name is resolved properly.

# nslookup
> system_name
> system_ip_add

> exit

Here is a thread on configuring the resolver and the nsswitch.conf files.

Hi,

That's because sendmail cannot determine your domaine name :

- stop sendmail (/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop)
- edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and look for #Dj$w.Foo.COM line. change it to :
D$jw.
The trailing '.' is important !
- add an alias in you /etc/host file with your hostanme and a trailing '.' ie :
w.x.y.z host host.
- restart sendmail (/sbin/init.d/sendmail start)

Regards.

You can get this problem from within sendmail when the 'Dj' macro has not been defined or defined correctly.

Dj$w.

Check you /etc/resolv.conf file and /etc/nsswitch file to make sure they are resolved correctly.

Hi,

Sorry but my recommandations are only if you don't have a domain name of course :^) ...

Hi,

if this message is from sendmail, then

edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and edit the line Dj$w line by adding a "." at the end of it.

also edit the /etc/hosts file add the name of the machine at the end of the entry. i.e,

Hi,

I agree with Jean !!!

if you don't need sendmail on your
server

edit the file

/etc/rc.config.d/mailservs

export SENDMAIL_SERVER=0

[T G Manikandan]

Modify the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw which needs a list of all the names by which this host will be known.

YOu can make entry in the file like


.domainname
Then re-start sendmail to
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

check those messages dont appear again.

Thanks
