I don't want to open up port 25 and it seems a bit silly anyway to
send mail on such a long round trip. Is there any way I can tell
sendmail that home.isbd.net is localhost (or 192.168.1.1)? I have an
entry for home.isbd.net in my /etc/hosts file which is:-
192.168.1.1 home home.isbd.net
Try adding 127.0.0.1 as home.isbd.net in the hosts file.
There's a big comment in /etc/hosts saying that breaks things.
He said "add," not "change" or "replace." It shouldn't take long to see
what it breaks, if anything.
The comment says:-
# By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen <agulbra@xxxxxxxxxxx> says that 127.0.0.1
# should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems
# for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
#
It's broken _now_ Chris.
fwiw here's mine, where's that comment?
[root@potoroo mail]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
[root@potoroo mail]#
