I am not in a local network, my machine is a laptop and I access
internet using the wireless lan of the university trough a dhcp server,
so I don't really know what else to add in /etc/hosts
I have tried also to add an '&' in the /etc/init.d/sendmail script, but
it doesn't work, and I get an error message sayng that the syntax of the
script is not correct.
Btw, I have the same problem even using exim instead of sendmail.
