This sets things up only for localhost.your.domain. You might need to create a zone file for your named, to help it in resolving your `real' host.your.domain -- not just localhost. Both your problems, with sendmail, and with apache, are caused by your machine not being able to lookup it's own hostname. There are various ways to do this, ranging from simple to more difficult to do. a) If you're talking about your home machine, you can probably get away with an entry in /etc/hosts [the 'difficult' way of doing this, would be to install a local (caching) name server]. b) If you're talking about your workstation at work, your company's DNS admin should be able to help you set your machine up. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr> See the headers of this message for my public key fingeprint.
