that so? can somebody guide me? I need to use static IP in my computer
for hosting webpage inside the lan.
Sendmail needs a valid IP <--> FQDN mapping in /etc/hosts. So make sure
you have a line like
1.2.3.4 mail.domain.tld mail
in /etc/hosts. Be aware that Sendmail takes the first dotted hostname as
its own.
