I think sendmail gets a domain name (or first item in search list) from /etc/resolv.conf,
and a hostname from /etc/hosts, where the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf matters.
It will certainly succeed when
returns a FQDN.
Maybe you should not override that with localhost.localdomain...
Sorry to get back to you so late. Nope, the box is still sending e-mails as 'localhost.localdomain', despite the fact that there is not a single instance of that word anywhere in /etc/mail.

Hi all,
I have read about sendmail running as 2 separate process.

getent - get entries from administrative database
SYNOPSIS
getent database [key...]
getent gets a list of entries from the administrative database specified by database. The information generally comes from one or more of
the sources that are specified for the database in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
database is the name of the database to be examined. This can be passwd, group, hosts, ipnodes, services, protocols, ethers, project, net-
works, or netmasks. For each of these databases, getent uses the appropriate library routines described in getpwnam(3C), getgrnam(3C),
gethostbyaddr(3NSL), gethostbyname(3NSL), getipnodebyaddr(3SOCKET), getipnodebyname(3SOCKET), getservbyname(3SOCKET), getprotoby-
name(3SOCKET), ethers(3SOCKET), getprojbyname(3PROJECT) and getnetbyname(3SOCKET), respectively.
Each key must be in a format appropriate for searching on the respective database. For example, it can be a username or numeric-uid for
passwd; hostname or IP address for hosts; or service, service/protocol, port, or port/proto for services.
getent prints out the database entries that match each of the supplied keys, one per line, in the format of the matching administrative
file: passwd(4), group(4), project(4), hosts(4), ipnodes(4), services(4), protocols(4), ethers(3SOCKET), networks(4), or netmasks(4). If no
key is given, all entries returned by the corresponding enumeration library routine, for example, getpwent() or gethostent(), are printed.
Enumeration is not supported on ipnodes.
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 Command syntax was incorrect, an invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred.
2 At least one of the specified entry names was not found in the database.
3 There is no support for enumeration on this database.
