SOLUTION! sendmail: unable to qualify my own domain name
Posted by ebenze on August 6, 2008
The solution is to add a line in your “/etc/hosts” file.
My computer is Nelly, and i’m doing localhosting sooo:
127.0.0.1 nelly.local. nelly
The format is:
[ipaddress] [longname] [shortname]
Obviously without the brackets.
Don’t know your name? Try pinging yourself or doing an:
>nslookup [shortname]
