I did that now. It had localhost.localdomain. I changed if to "Peter". Can there be more than one name and if so how are they separated?

That what I always thought and it always worked since RH5.2 w/o me doing anything.

I found it as inetd.cof.rpmsave and copied it to /etc/inetd.conf. There is no smtp entry in this file. This mail should go out now with my webcard ISP and using the program exmh.
