My sendmail's gone loopy - no matter what I do, I can't get it to put
the right hostname in mail headers. It's supposed to be intacc, but now
it says "loop". I'm not sure what it was that I did to cause this; I
did a bunch of things - upgraded to 2.0.1, rebuilt the kernel with a new
driver, removed networking support from the kernel, changed sendmail.cf,
etc., that could have influenced it, I guess.
To try and fix this:
-I reinstalled networking support in the kernel
-I reinstalled Alexis' sendmail.cf and did a sendmail -bz. I haven't changed
anything except the smart-host. This worked for me before.
-/etc/HOSTNAME contains: intacc uucp
-/etc/hostname reports intacc
-uuname -l reports intacc
-/etc/hosts contains: 0x7F.0x00.0x00.0x01 loop lo loo intacc
(I tried putting intacc first, but it didn't make any difference)
-gethostname(2) reports intacc
So why does sendmail think the hostname is loop?
