Hello! >DNS problem : Sendmail tries to resolve your domain "prevezanos.com". > Does-it exist ? > > If not, this is the answer Can I manage it, that sendmail is not trying to resolve this domain? So it knows this is the local adress? That would be my solution.... Another REALLY basic question..... In rc.conf, do I have to enter only the local hostname (e.g. "ripley") or the full qulified domain name (e.g. "ripley.prevezanos.com"). I am a bit confused because on our IRIX6.2-boxes I just enter "ripley". If I do so in FreeBSD sendmail tells me illegal hostname.
