When I send email from one segment, everything is fine.
But when I send it from the second segment I get this message in the
log:



Aug 11 16:01:23 millipede sendmail[26335]: QAA26333: SYSERR(root):
142.133.241.1 config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
Aug 11 16:02:49 millipede sendmail[26344]: My unqualified host name
(millipede) unknown; sleeping for retry
Aug 11 16:03:49 millipede sendmail[26344]: unable to qualify my own
domain name (millipede) -- using short name


How can I tell sendmail that the machine has 2 hostnames?
