I seem to have a small problem with Sendmail. Actually, everything works fine, except that Sendmail tells me gethostbyaddr(10.0.0.1) failed: 1 eve= ry time eMail is being sent. The eMail is, however, correctly being delivere= d. I think that this must have something to do with the way I've configured ppp. I've configured it to dial automatically and one line of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file says something like add ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0... I suspect that this line might cause the problem since the real IP-adress o= f my system is 192.168.0.1. I did, however, think that the add ifaddr line = in ppp.conf wouldn't play a big role anyways, since my computer will get a dynamically assigned IP-adress everytime it dials in anyway. So what do I have to do to fix the problem with sendmail? Should I write = my real IP-adress (the satic one of the Ethernet Interface, not the dynamic one of the PPP-connection) in ppp.conf? Or should I add an entry in /etc/hosts that assigns both the IP-Adresses 192.168.0.1 and 10.0.0.1 to = my machine so that Sendmail *should* be able to lookup my host name? Any advice is appreciated.
