Thanks again Riley, apparently you are leaving in the UK. said: > The top "Received:" line gives the critical evidence when it reports > "helo=localhost.localdomain" as this states that your system's > hostname is currently set up as localhost.localdomain as stated, and > this is also confirmed both by the bottom "Received:" line and by the > "From:" line. As you can see, this is wrong.
I never had to edit /etc/sysconfig/network in all previous versions of RH. Some kind program was doing the right thing for me. I only had to edit /etc/hosts. Now when I had to re-install RH7.1 things went wrong. When I tried to edit in /etc/hosts the line: "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" to "127.0.0.1 localhost" I could not print any longer and on booting, section starting lpd, I would get a long complain not finding the printer. I now then checked in RH6.2 /etc/sysconfig/network and it said there HOSTNEAME="Peter". I put that into RH7.1 and now after your last mail changed /etc/hosts to: 127.0.0.1 localhost 202.95.238.2 philonline.com Peter 202.78.74.68 webcard.skyinet.net Pedro Printer prints now and no complains on booting about lpd. I assume my from address should be correct as well now. I assume that you received my last mail twice. When I sent it the first time and had changed HOSTNAME to "Peter" from localhost.localdomain I had not rebooted as you suggested and I got the following messages in /var/log/maillog: Aug 13 14:03:45 localhost sendmail[2687]: OAA02685: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (500/500), delay=00:00:08, xdelay=00:00:05, mailer=esmtp, relay=vger.kernel.org.

Did a programmer change something that one has to edit now /etc/sysconfig/network a file I did not even know it existed or did I miss something when installing RH7.1?
