This is a DNS issue. Either your DNS server is down, your DNS info
is incorrectly set, or it can't get your hostname from your IP address.
This is stuff that really *should* be fixed if you really are
running sendmail, or you should just turn off sendmail (add
"sendmail_enable="NO" to /etc/rc.conf)
