[SunHELP] query on sendmail

[Bageshwar X Kumar]

Hi,

In /etc/hosts make the entries like this ::

<ip-address>   surya     surya.    surya.tatainfotech.com

and this will eliminate yr error.

Regards,
Bageshwar

I am a Oracle DBA doubling up as a System administrator for a new E450 Solaris 8
server. Am trying my best to setup the machine properly - reading lots of books
and faq's that I can put my hands on.
Have been trying to set up sendmail - and keep getting this message :

sendmail[382]: [ID 702911 mail.crit] My unqualified host name (surya) unknow
n; sleeping for retry

I want to know why this error comes up - I mean whats it that I can set in
sendmail.cf that will help stop this error from popping up. Unfortunately our
librarian informs that  the book "Sendmail" by OReilly which we had till some
time back is lost - hence am quite lost.
Would be gald if someone can help me.(Currently downloading the sendmail faq
from sendmail.org)
Thanks and Regards,
~aslam
