I have been trying to track down a problem (I think with sendmail) on a 5.0-RELEASE system:
lorax[/etc/mail]$ uname -a FreeBSD lorax.forestry.umn.edu 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Feb 4 13:54:49 CST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LORAX_SMP_KERNEL i386 I get a startup message like this: Mar 11 03:02:52 lorax sm-mta[22980]: h2B92pBL022966: SYSERR(root): x74-47.forestry.umn.edu. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) Mar 11 03:02:52 lorax sm-mta[22985]: h2B92qBL022981: SYSERR(root): x74-47.forestry.umn.edu. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) Mar 11 10:15:49 lorax su: kwythers to root on /dev/ttyp0 According to what I've read in the sendmail FAQ, it looks like I need to add my local hostname to /etc/mail/local-host-names. However my system does not seems to have a local-host-names file. Why wasn't this file created when I did a standard cd install? Is this something I need to add manually? Or am I completely on the wrong track here? thanks -- Kirk R.
