Create a file in /etc with the following type of info:
file name
hostname.hmex where x is the interface number
hostname.qfex

You have to know which interface type you have - grep them from the dmesg command
contents of file
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is your IP number OR
put the hostname in there but it must be /etc/hosts
Read the man pages for:
ifconfig

check-hostname
check-hostname(1M) System Administration Commands check-hostname(1M)
NAME
check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-hostname
DESCRIPTION
The check-hostname script is a migration aid for sendmail(1M). This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name
(FQHN) in a manner similar to sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports success. Other-
wise, check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the FQHN can be properly determined.
FILES
/etc/hosts Host name database
/etc/nsswitch.conf Name service switch configuration file
/etc/resolv.conf Configuration file for name server routines
