Sendmail and Hostname

[Marshal Wong <masee@globalserve.net>]

Hey everyone!

I have a problem (Don't we all! ;) ).  I installed Sendmail, and when it
trys to start, it halts for a long time.  The reason being is that it
can't seem to find my computer.  The log file gives this error:

Jul 11 23:56:15 ul sendmail[2344]: My unqualified host name (ul)
unknown; sleeping for retry
Jul 11 23:57:15 ul sendmail[2344]: unable to qualify my own domain name
(ul) -- using short name

However, I have
127.0.0.1    ul    localhost

in /etc/hosts.

So I'm at a lost.  Any hints?  Thanks!
