Unqualified host name

Hi All

I am Having V890 Server with Solaris 10 OS.In Dmesg showing the sendmail error.

This is the error:

Jul 26 22:04:56 ORACLE sendmail[24142]: [ID 702911 mail.crit] My unqualified host name (ORACLE) unknown; sleeping for retry

Jul 26 22:05:56 ORACLE sendmail[24142]: [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (ORACLE) -- using short name

Jul 26 23:00:01 ORACLE sendmail[9564]: [ID 702911 mail.crit] My unqualified host name (ORACLE) unknown; sleeping for retry

Jul 26 23:01:01 ORACLE sendmail[9564]: [ID 702911 mail.alert] unable to qualify my own domain name (ORACLE) -- using short name

How to resolve this.

Thanks

Ravi.

edit your /etc/hosts file and add '<tab>oracle.' after 'oracle', then restart sendmail

.7/M.

It means Sendmail can't find a fully qualified domain name in /etc/hosts or /etc/ipnodes so it has no idea what domains it should relay mail for. The fix is to add a fqdn in /etc/hosts so Sendmail has the information that it needs to function correctly.
