Solarizer??

Are you logging in on the system console, or remotely?

What is the output of ps -ef | grep [s]endmail?

svcadm disable sendmail

or

add your FQDN to /etc/inet/hosts

ex: plood.domain.int

There's a way to disable this error in sendmail, but being security minded I quit using sendmail a long time ago and don't remember the option in sendmail.cf


PS: if you *read* the error messages instead of just acknowledging that there was an error that usually helps troubleshooting Smilie

No need to disable sendmail..
just add hostname. in the hosts file
eg:
cat /etc/hosts
10.10.120.23 ABCSERVER ABCSERVER. ABCSERVER.DOMAIN.COM
YOU WOULD NOT SEE THOSE ERRORS ANYMORE
