Hi Anni,

I have removed the entry of hostname.lcl and hostname from localhost line.

Some users were unable to login remotely so a smart guy rebooted the machine, unfortunatley it could not determine the ip so they /etc/hosts entry in the localhost was commented out. Then a second reboot was done.

The problem was not due to /etc/hosts but a failed disk, however when the machine rebooted the the ip conflict issue surfaced.

Anyway, regarding the sendmail issue I have solved with an entry like this:

1.2.3.4 hostname hostname.lcl

I don't see the annoying messages anymore.

IF I just put in a dot after the hostname, sendmail doesn't deliver the mail and I get the error 5.5.0.

Thanks
