1/ It seems to me that sendmail really needs to resolve names through
DNS (for more info www.sendmail.org / or the book by Allman at
O'Reilly and Associates - I don't have any here ...)
2/ rc.conf must contain a fully qualified name (used by the system to
infer the DNS domain)

Hello!

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 fu
ll qulified domain name (e.g. "ripley.prevezanos.com"). I am a bit confused beca
use on our IRIX6.2-boxes I just enter "ripley".
If I do so in FreeBSD sendmail tells me illegal hostname.
Thanks, Christoph
