127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 mycomputer.mydomain.com
Only the last line for each IP address is read. If you want to hardcode a domain name (or similar) to the loopback, you must do it on the same line as:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost mycomputer.mydomain.com
I discovered this while troubleshooting why a Fedora box was spending about 5 minutes trying to start sendmail.

At the top put 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost and leave the kdtop line alone this might help=20
Actually, the above line is needed in Linux. This is the local loopback
address since Linux is natively a networking operation system. Taking
this out will cause issues.
Sorry, forgot to mention that part earlier.
