hi,
I have trouble with sendmail, in FreeBSD 2.0.5R.
sendmail can't find hostname when i address recipient as the form 'kwak@madonna'.
glria(30)> echo test |sendmail -v kwak@madonna
kwak@madonna... Host unknown (Name server: madonna: host not found)
Saving message in /home1/NLP/kwak/dead.letter
/home1/NLP/kwak/dead.letter... Sent
but when I use FQDN as recipient, it recognizes.
gloria(31)> echo test | sendmail -v kwak@madonna.postech.ac.kr
kwak@madonna.postech.ac.kr... Connecting to madonna.postech.ac.kr. (smtp)...
220 madonna.postech.ac.kr Sendmail 4.1/SMI-4.1 ready at Mon, 4 Sep 95 15:37:59 KDT

Closing connection to madonna.postech.ac.kr.
>>> QUIT
221 madonna.postech.ac.kr delivering mail
Other applications, such as ping, telnet, rlogin.. etc. are work properly
though I don't give FQDN.
e.g> 'ping madonna' works well
my /etc/host.conf file is set to use nis, bind, hosts files. But any ordering
of this entries does not solved this problem.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance.
