Yes it is and in my experience you will get help there. Keep your |
| 10 |
fingers crossed for Per Hedlund to respond if you do post there. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Keep in mind that I have configured sendmail so many times I can't |
| 13 |
even count them but every time I have to completely refresh my memory. |
| 14 |
What I'm getting at is that any advice I give here may be tainted with |
| 15 |
poorly remembering the steps I've been thru. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
With the part about sendmail not knowing what host it is running on: |
| 18 |
You can solve this by how you list the localhost in /etc/hosts. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I don't remember the exact reasons or format but I believe sendmail |
| 21 |
calls `gethostbyname' which looks first at /etc/hosts. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This is the format I currently have: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
127.0.0.1 reader.local.lan reader localhost |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
In your case you might try (to conform with the posted sendmail.mc): |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
127.0.0.1 myhost.local myhost localhost |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
A further point about documentation... you may have mentioned this |
| 32 |
but I did not see it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The document /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README |
| 35 |
Has a lot of help but may be thin on exact details at times. |
