You should add the following to your /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
You don't have any reference between the name "localhost" and the 127 address. Mike Michael K.

My /etc/hosts looks: 127.0.0.1 bathory bathory.aria ::1 bathory bathory.aria 192.168.0.203 bathory bathory.aria And in my /etc/rc.conf i have hostname="bathory.aria" My sendmail configuration looks like this(/etc/rc.conf): mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail" sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server) sendmail_submit_enable="YES" # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost`" sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" This is the default configureation with 4.6 i assumed it would work. The one possible sollution i came up with was chaging the sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" to sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=bathory.aria" but that doesnt work.
