I recently installed a fileserver which is restricted to the internal network and which I refer to simply as 'fileserver' (pretty creative, right). However, sendmail doesn't seem to work correctly. When the machine boots and/or I try and send an email using sendmail, I get a bunch of cryptic error messages. Here's a view of the syslog: root@fileserver# tail /var/log/messages Nov 29 13:51:56 fileserver sm-mta[386]: My unqualified host name (fileserver) unknown; sleeping for retry Nov 29 13:52:56 fileserver sm-mta[386]: unable to qualify my own domain = name (fileserver) -- using short name Nov 29 13:52:57 fileserver sm-msp-queue[390]: My unqualified host name (fileserver) unknown; sleeping for retry Nov 29 13:53:57 fileserver sm-msp-queue[390]: unable to qualify my own domain name (fileserver) -- using short name ...

Can anyone please help me? --=20 Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
