Hello, I have a FreeBSD 4.8 box, I run it for my local small home network I use it as a router. My DSL-modem has a NAT feature, and FreeBSD does not have any routable ip-address, only the modem does. My sendmail always complains about the domain name every time I start my FreeBSD, and the system is hanging for 2 minutes, until the sendmail finally starts. What I want to do, is to keep my own sendmail (I use it as my smtp-server), but I do not want the system to wait 2 minutes until the sendmail starts. What can I do? In /var/log/maillog I have: Jul 24 12:46:59 cnst sm-mta[99]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Jul 24 12:47:59 cnst sm-mta[99]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Jul 24 12:47:59 cnst sm-mta[100]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00 Jul 24 12:47:59 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Jul 24 12:49:00 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Jul 24 12:49:00 cnst sm-msp-queue[103]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): queueing@00:30:00 In /var/log/messages I have: Jul 24 12:46:58 cnst ntpdate[85]: step time server 198.82.161.227 offset -0.104211 sec Jul 24 12:46:59 cnst sm-mta[99]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Jul 24 12:47:59 cnst sm-mta[99]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Jul 24 12:47:59 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Jul 24 12:49:00 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Jul 24 12:49:00 cnst apmd[117]: start Thank you, Constantine.
