You need to change the hostname of the machine.
Set this by editing /etc/rc.conf and adding a line:
hostname="your.full.host.and.domain.name.here"
or changing an existing hostname line, if one already exists.

What do you mean, "what are you supposed to do"?
It's mail. Read it, would be a reasonable thing.
Forward it to some mailbox that you regularly check, is another idea.
It's actually up to you to choose :)

What is your -b option supposed to do. From the manpage of file(1) on
my FreeBSD system I read:
OPTIONS
-b Do not prepend filenames to output lines (brief mode).
Is that what you mean?
If not, reaed the manpage of file with `man file' and see if some
other option does what you are trying to do.
Ciao,

PS: The -newbies list is not for posting questions.
Try posting to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org next time you
want to ask something about FreeBSD.
Before posting to -questions though, it would be a very good idea
to read what Greg Lehey has written about using the list
effectively. Point your browser at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.
