This has happened to me before. A= s I recall, it was due to sendmail trying to
qualify an unqualifiable = host name. Your host needs a FQDN (fully qualified
domain name). Eithe= r give your host a full name, or disable sendmail.

The command "ho= stname" will tell you the full host name of your machine. If
it's just= a simple one word name like "mymachine", then sendmail will
grumble. = You need something on the order of "mymachine.my.domain".

If you'r= e on a network, your sysadmin will tell you your full host name. If
yo= u're the sysadmin, start boning up on hostname by reading the hostnamemanpage in section 7 (type "man 7 hostname").
