I'm not on AMD64, although I will be in a couple of weeks.
I have looked further into this and I've found that this problem is caused by /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic this is sourced by /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail and then the /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic update_host() function is run by the /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail script. I use a usb modem to connect over pppoa and, in the boot sequence, this is brought up after eth0. /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail is run by eth0 when no dns is available, thus you get the horrible message as dialup.m4 is rebuilt as eth0 comes up. When ppp0 comes up it doesn't overwrite it. I've found that commenting the call to update_host in /etc/network/if- up.d works for me, although I think a proper fix would involve looking out for the text "connection timed out; no servers could be reached" in /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic find_host() function. -- [feisty] sendmail unable to automatically determine domain name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
