Sehari Subject: Problem with mailing to the user of the same machine. Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, For some reason I can not send mail to the users in my own machine! My computer does not have a network card and I am using Generic Kernel ver 2.1.0. Whenever, I try to send a mail I get following response: My host name (Babak_1) does not seem to exist. Of course, I modified /etc/sysconfig line homename to hostname=Babak_1 Since I do not have a intenet card it is silly to add @nowhere.nothing Therefore, I did not add that to the end of the above line. What other files in sysconfig I should modify, in order to make my mail program to work? Thanks in advance, for your help. With highest regards, Babak E. Sehari
