This has happened to me be= fore. As I recall, it was due to sendmail trying to
qualify an unquali= fiable host name. Your host needs a FQDN (fully qualified
domain name)= . Either give your host a full name, or disable sendmail.

The comm= and "hostname" will tell you the full host name of your machine. If
it= 's just a simple one word name like "mymachine", then sendmail will
gr= umble. You need something on the order of "mymachine.my.domain".

I= f you're on a network, your sysadmin will tell you your full host name. I= f
you're the sysadmin, start boning up on hostname by reading the host= name
manpage in section 7 (type "man 7 hostname").
