What I did was to add a entry to the host file on my dns server/cache
on my gateway... v42.<gateway hostname>

I no longer get the error. I now get one about unusual system
events..

May 14 13:31:21 v42 sm-mta[826]: i4EIVLJS000826:
from=<root@v42.<gateway hostname>>, size=2010,
class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200405141802.i4EI2UjB000640@v42.<gateway hostname>>,
proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost. [127.0.0.1]


The topic and from and to are...

From: kit <root@v42.<gateway hostname>>
To: root@v42.<gateway hostname>
Subject: v42.<gateway hostname> 05/14/04:14.00 system
check


Not really sure if this is a sendmail problem or not here... :/

BTW know of any good tutorials or any good reads I can find online for
this?


This box orginally had log sentry on it too, which appears to have
screwed up some of the periodic stuff too...

What is the easiest way to get back to what defualt periodic security
checks and ect?
