Hello everybody, I've got some problems with sendmail. Going through logs I've found that sendmail identifies itself as localhost.<domain>. where I would expect it should be just [localhost]. Dec 5 13:09:00 watchdog sm-msp-queue[339]: gB5A016S000321: to=xxx@<domain>, ctladdr=xxx (x/x), delay=00:08:59, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=120314, relay=localhost.<domain>. [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (gB5A90GS000340 Message accepted for delivery) I believe that it just canonify the localhost name by appending <domain>. to it. Because when I change /etc/hosts from 127.0.0.1 localhost to 127.0.0.1 localhost. I get: Dec 5 12:12:41 watchdog sendmail[247]: gB59CfNb000247: to=xxx@<domain>, ctladdr=x (x/x), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30036, relay=[localhost] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (gB59CfQo000248 Message accepted for delivery) Sounds really strange because testing rules gives me the following: $ sendmail -bt ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked) Enter <ruleset> <address> > 3 localhost canonify input: localhost Canonify2 input: localhost Canonify2 returns: localhost canonify returns: localhost So the question is why do sendmail canonify the localhost name?
