I'm using the default sendmail config (the only thing I need it for is to read the output of cron jobs and run fetchmail). The problem for me is that I don't have a "real" IP, it's DHCP-assigned from the nonroutable 192.168.1.0/8 subnet. My /etc/hosts entry for this box just gives it an IP of 0.0.0.0, I don't know what else to do for it. How can I get my mail working again?
