Misconfiguration . Sendmail can't correctly identify the HOSTNAME of the
computer that it's running .
As soon as sendmail has finished everything is normal.
Well not entirely , sendmail is using the short name , which might
create problems
when you try to sent an email to the outer world .

Well i would choose /etc/hosts for this occassion . Well since
/etc/host.conf says
hosts,bind of course .

/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.100 EPO-xp
>192.168.1.105 epowork
>192.168.1.125 epohost
EEE ???? What's this . Apart from the first line all the others are wrong .
In the second column you have to put the "FQDN" ( sort of speaking ) in
other
words the hostname.domainname thing and in the third column the alliases
for example
192.168.1.100 EPO-xp.localdomain EPO
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
>HOSTNAME=localhost
Again the above line should read
HOSTANME=localhost.localdomain , in order to be correct or in your
occassion
for example :
HOSTNAME=epohost.localdomain
