Sendmail uses the system calls to resolve names. You need to check:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
In that file check the hosts line, this gives the order for hostname
resolution, typically it is files then dns.
Then you should check your /etc/hosts file to be sure that localhost is
there and correct.
Also check /etc/resolve.conf that you have the correct nameservers for dns
lookups.

Hello:
Where does sendmail look to find out who it is?
Resolve.conf?
It keeps throwing up messages that it cannot
resolve the name localhost, or that is the
way I am interpreting the messages.
FreeBSD v6.2 generic
Thanks in advance;
