So better use a name like "vandelay.home.lan" or something like this which is not public resolvable like the .lan TLD, but has the form: hostname.domain.tld. > [bvitale@vandelay ~]$ cat /etc/hosts > # Do not remove the following line, or various programs > # that require network functionality will fail. > 127.0.0.1 vandelay localhost > > Is my hosts file setup correctly?

If your Fedora box has a network card and you have an IP for it, then use those 2 lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost your_IP vandelay.home.lan vandelay It is very important that the name resolution for localhost and the long form localhost.localdomain works. Else you could append names to the 127.0.0.1 line like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost vandelay > Aug 3 21:02:07 vandelay sendmail[10299]: My unqualified host name > (vandelay) unknown; sleeping for retry This is because you did choose only a short form of a hostname.
