i.e, when the system sends an email to root, or whoever is setup to receive the system messages, the sender address is as such:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This causes a problem, as most of the time, 'host.domain.com' might not be a valid dns host, so basic sendmail checking would bounce the message back stating:
<snip>
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.8
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 553 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist
Last-Attempt-Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 18:15:12 -0700
</snip>
I'd need the email to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED], or just take the easy way out and add a dns record for 'host.domain.com'. I'd prefer the former, as I don't have easy access to the dns configuration.
TIA
