I'm having problems getting my internal mail working. What I'm trying to
do is email another internal user.
#mail cowz

It never makes it to the user. After some investigation i found
/var/log/maillog:

I assume the localhost is the problem but i cant figure out where to
change that setting. My /etc/hosts looks:
127.0.0.1 bathory bathory.aria
Try changing this line to 127.0.0.1 bathory bathory.aria localhost localhost.aria
::1 bathory bathory.aria
If you actually use IPv6, you'll want to change this as well. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
