[-- Attachment #1 --] Greetings, I am using FBSD V4.4 Release, with the bundled version of Sendmail. It seems to be working fine, however, I continually get the error message on the console: jcontinuum sendmail: gethostbyaddr(192.168.14.1) failed: 1 I believe this error is pertaining to sendmail not being able to get the hostname of my system. I thought I set it in the right place in the sendmail.cf file: # my official domain name # ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain Dj$w.jcontinuum.ca However, even after a reboot, it still gives me the same error. Can somebody tell me where to set this properly? Regards, Justin P.
