fully qualified domain name

[Sanjiv Sharma_1]

Hi,

It has been seen on my mail server that the mails coming from my K360/HP-UX 10.20 server is coming with the hostname(root@raineir) and not with the fully qualified domain name(root@raineir@abc.com)and hence the mails are rejected.

How can I change the hostname to the fully qualified domain name?
Any thing needs to be done to the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to send mail with the FQDN?
What should be the entry in the /etc/hosts file?

Thanks,

Hi,
The entry in /etc/hosts should be like this



Ex:
172.25.1.3 hpdev.cmcltd.com hpdev

Add the domain name to the

Dj$w

in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file

This should enable the FQDN

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