Sendmail outgoing domain?

[wildchubby]

Hello all, I have recently setup a RHES server and have a need to run Sendmail.

Currently when I send out email from this server it is address as "root@localhost.localdomain"

Can someone tell me how to change the "@localhost.localdomain" to my recognizable domain name?

Thanks,
J

Sounds like you haven't set a hostname for your server. You can change it either by running netconfig, and entering the appropriate host and domain names. Or by editing /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts to show the name of your machine.

I have set the hostname and domain name however still when I send email from the server the header information shows "localhost.localdomain" Any other thoughts?

After you've set up your domain names, rebuild your Sendmail config using the M4 stuff.

I thought the RedHat network tool was 'redhat-config-network'?
