RE: sendmail gethostbyaddr fails
Either set up a DNS server for your local network
or add some entries to /etc/hosts. sendmail likes
to be able to resolve its IP address into an FQDN
and will bitch if it can't.

Errr... excuse the cluelessness, but how would you recommend
doing that? I don't run local DNS, and the DNS entries in
/etc/resolv.conf
point to my ISPs nameservers on the other side of my firewall.
Is this a problem because my firewall assigns IP addresses to
the workstations on my LAN via DHCP? I'm still learning lots
of things about networking...
TIA,
Mike
