Garry, Joe, Michael, thanks for your replies. I too think it has
something to do with the DNS lookup, or something in my configs
somewhere. Anyway, from Garry's above, here is what I get.
Version 8.10.2
Compiled with: LDAPMAP MAP_REGEX LOG MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS NISPLUS QUEUE
SCANF SMTP TCPWRAPPERS USERDB
============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = linux
(canonical domain name) $j = linux.local
(subdomain name) $m = local
(node name) $k = linux
========================================================
Presently, I am running SuSE on a single workstation, hence the
linux.local domain name. I will look at the top or Gtop display too.
I am certain it is a sendmail problem, and therefore out of the scope
of this group. I will also look at the man pages for sendmail for
additional options, etc.
Thanks guys.
