So the output of `hostname -f` is used as the FQDN by sendmail? Well, that should be enough to get the original poster on the right track.
No, I don't think so. He said in the Spanish list - I'm starting to "hate" having to go searching in my archive instead of him speaking up - that: |> si ejecuto hostname aparece "www" |> si ejecuto hostname -f aparece www.dominio.com Ie, he gets "www" for the command 'hostname' and "www.dominio.com" for 'hostname -f'. Also, I know he is using an adsl modem(?) router, giving his server an IP in the range 192.168.0.x. I have to assume he (the router) is using nat. He'd better clarify this himself.
How would you set up the hostname for Sendmail, when you are using a private domain like "myserver.athome"?
I believe that Yast would set that correctly; alternatively, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and run SuSEconfig afterwards. I did that when sendmail was the default in SuSE and it worked fine without having to touch the real sendmail configuration. But I don't remember the details. With postfix, we can let Yast do an initial configuration, then forget Yast and do it ourselves: the config is humanly readable ;-) However, I'm not going to install sendmail to check. But looking inside the rpm, I see there is a '/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.sendmail' file. Let's see what I can learn. Ah: # Know about FQHOSTNAME test -s $r/etc/HOSTNAME && read -t 1 FQHOSTNAME < $r/etc/HOSTNAME I think that setting is what it will be using. I see it reads some configuration files: /etc/rc.config /etc/sysconfig/mail /etc/sysconfig/sendmail /etc/sysconfig/amavis But I don't see where it gets the default '/etc/sysconfig/sendmail' from. Ah, from '/var/adm/fillup-templates/*'. There are two files there: 'sysconfig.mail-sendmail' and 'sysconfig.sendmail'. ... Searching to see where the variable 'FQHOSTNAME' is defined, I see a reference in '/etc/sysconfig/apache': # If empty ("") it defaults to root@$FQHOSTNAME. FQHOSTNAME is set in # /etc/sysconfig/network/config. But I don't see it there - perhaps I understood it wrong. Mmmm... I'm reading the 'sysconfig.sendmail' file, but I don't get it. Perhaps it is 'MASQUERADE_DOMAINS'. Dunno. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
