I posted earlier today about configuring smail . . . well, I gave up and went back to my original problem with sendmail. As it turns out, it may not be sendmail at fault. In my mail.log file, I get the following message whenever I try to send mail to my main domain or receive mail from there with fetchmail:
The following addresses have permanent fatal errors -- <root> Transcript of session follows -- 550 <root> . . . Host unknown (Name server: none: host not found) It doesn't matter whether I am using my ethernet connection or dialing up with ppp. I get the same thing. Also I get a long pause during startup when trying to initiate sendmail. I get the following in mail.err: My unqualified host name (debia) unknow; sleeping for retry unable to qualify my own domain name (debian) -- using short name That is where things stand. Any suggestions? Thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
