Hi,

Basically you have this problem because you don't use domain name. So the simpliest workaround is :

- In /var/mail/sendmail.cf file,uncomment the following line

#Dj$w.Foo.COM

and change it to

Dj$w.

- In /etc/hosts, define a new alias for your local host :

IP-address hostname hostname. (The dot is important).

- stop and restarts sendmail

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

Regards,

Jean-Louis.

Add . to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cw

This file list all the possible names that this
host might be known as

Enter as

sistemas
sistemas.hp.com


That should take the messages off.

Hi,

edit your /etc/hosts file and make an alias for your host like

145.0.0.1 db001 db001.

stop and start sendmail.

Hi All !!!
You have to add in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw :

localhost
lancelot
localhost
LANCELOT
localhost
LANCELOT.

The key is the point !!!.

Try this. It??s works right !

Franklin,

I think you need to put this command at your /etc/hosts

ip hostname hostsname.com
example
110.112.134.15 hp hp.com

Yes, Handy, of course, Franklin have to add in /etc/hosts the relay mail Ip Adress.
With this, you can " turn off " the sendmail daemon, because will send the all the mail to the relay server, and your mail will arrive to it destination.

I Hope this help you.

Juanma.

Hi,

In addition to the replys above and if your are not using DNS add the following file "nsswitch.conf" in the /etc directory: with this line: (this worked for me)

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue]

Bye.
