If yes, how can the problem be solved ?

+ Did anybody ever experience this kind of problem configuring sendmail ?

No. What does "hostname -a" tell you? is it your machine's hostname? the
only thing I can think of is that your hostname is configured right, and
sendmail is objecting...

+ Yes it is.

So that is configured right. You can call me a dunce, tho, since the
error quite clearly states: DOMAIN NAME, not HOST NAME... :\

+ And for what reason is it objecting ?

It isn't able to resolve your domain name...does /etc/resolv.conf have a
"domain" line? does /etc/hosts spell out your Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN)? as in: courrier.<whatever>.<whatever> ??

What is the syntax of a "domain line" ?

Quote:>  does /etc/hosts spell out your Fully Qualified Domain Name
>(FQDN)? as in: courrier.<whatever>.<whatever> ??

Bruno

+ > does /etc/resolv.conf have a  "domain" line?
+ No. The only 2 lines are:
+ search ici.fr
+ servername
+
+ What is the syntax of a "domain line" ?

As follows:

domain <whatever>.<whatever>

Example:

domain libertysurf.fr

if you where part of the libertysurf.fr domain.

+ >  does /etc/hosts spell out your Fully Qualified Domain Name

+ Yes, perfectly.

Uh huh...it *should* get it from there....:( You should refer to
www.sendmail.org's FAQ. You may have to hardcode it into the
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf file...
