Problem on sendmail between users

Hello,

I am new to sendmail and know very little of it. I appreicate any help.

I tried sending mail between 2 users - alice and bob. I did:

[localhost:/etc] alice% mail bob
Subject: test
test
.
EOT
[localhost:/etc] alice%

Then, I got error log in /var/log/mail.log

May 4 18:23:26 localhost sendmail[606]: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown; sleeping for retry
May 4 18:24:26 localhost sendmail[606]: unable to qualify my own domain name (localhost) -- using short name
May 4 18:24:27 localhost sendmail[606]: j451OQX5000606: from=alice, size=42, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200505050124.j451OQX5000606@localhost>, relay=alice@localhost
May 4 18:24:27 localhost sendmail[606]: j451OQX5000606: to=bob, ctladdr=alice (502/20), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30037, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I am working on Mac 10.2.8, using sendmail 8.12.9
I think I am probably missing proper configuration. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

When the line Mar 15 19:39:40 mailhost sendmail[2178]: TAA02178: from=<foo@hotmail.com>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=[1.84.7.150] occurs in the input, and there is no line carrying the same queueid, the line is discarded, and reported as skipped: any to- or from- line, lacking any partner, will get discarded. Lines like: Mar 15 13:40:19 firewall sendmail[456]: alias database /etc/aliases.db out of date wil get discarded EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by sendmail: $ sendmail2dlf < mail.log sendmail2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report: $ lr_log2report sendmail < /var/log/maillog BUGS
When queueids are being reused within one logfile, behaviour is unpredictable. Incomplete logsnippets (e.g. from-lines without to-lines) are not treated well. It is reported events like this occur in sendmail log files: SAA14845: from=<>, size=146990, class=0, pri=176990, nrcpts=1, msgid=<092246.09986@rly-yc03.mx.aol.com>, proto=ESMTP, relay=omr-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.156.71] SAA14845: to=joe@mailhost, ctladdr=<joe@example.edu>, delay=00:00:01, mailer=local, stat=User unknown SAA14845: to=<joe@example.edu>, delay=00:00:01, mailer=local, stat=User unknown SAA14845: SAA14846: postmaster notify: User unknown SAA14846: to="|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail", ctladdr=ann@mailhost (2217/10), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Sent SAA14846: to=bob@imap-ns, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, relay=apex.example.edu. [152.19.4.80], stat=Sent (Message received: GVV8N400.CMX) SAA14846: to=eve@mailhost, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent Note that SAA14845 has _two_ final to= lines, while the from= line states nrcpts=1. This blows the axiom of this script away. We haven't decided yet on how to deal with this... THANKS
