The command you used tells sendmail to set debug mode zero.one. This allows you to check that the configuration is working or not. Any errors should be fixed.

The -bt is for address test mode. You should have gotten a prompt back without using control-C. The < /dev/null is input, not output.

You posted
(short domain name) $w = nameofdomain
(canonical domain name) $j = nameofdomain (same as above)
(subdomain name) $m = <null>
(node name) $k = nameofdomain (same as the short, canonical)

nameofdomain SHOULD have hostname.nameofdomain.com - please specify if it shows the hostname AND the name of the domain or just the hostname (which is why I explained how to change your post if you did not want company info on here).

I also posted that you need to set your /etc/hosts entry for the system having this problem to have the IP, hostname, and fully qualified hostname. Re-read the post prior to this please.

You should have also gotten back the full Version of sendmail you are running - you did not post it.

Oct 28 15:45:35 abc sendmail[21199]: unable to qualify my own domain name (abc) -- using short name

============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============
(short domain name) $w = abc
(canonical domain name) $j = abc
(subdomain name) $m = <null>
(node name) $k = abc
========================================================

WARNING: local host name (abc) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>

note that the value for abc is the same. abc does not contain any other actually.dontknow.whatdomain. abc is just a word by itself. to my limited knowledge, its a hostname. something like i type
telnet myserver

further info, i hope so....

hi, i thot this might be useful, here we go...

i ran nslookup on my two solaris physical servers from the entries of /etc/hosts.

so the one that i have been posting with errors of sendmail gave me this..

*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Unspecified error
*** Default servers are not available


note that the /etc/hosts had some other servers but whichever i tried with nslookup, the system message is the same as above....

HOWEVER, the other solaris server is fine... giving me the server, name, address info.

thanks

You need an entry in /etc/hosts as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost

This will fix the error you are getting.

i had 127.0.0.1 localhost as an entry in my /etc/hosts

so what could be wrong..

this is a side problem which i do a walk through when my first problem is with the sendmail.. see my earlier posts...

thanks for all for helping..
