I would suggest setting the hostname as a different address from
localhost. There are multiple instances of sendmail that run, as your
rc.conf file has them enabled. You can use a private non-routable IP for
the hostname.

Hi,
OK, I think that I now have my hostname set properly in rc.conf and /etc/hosts
In rc.conf is the line hostname="xenon"
In /etc/hosts there is one line: 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon
Upon bootup I get the following error:
"xenon sm-mta [1556]: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown;

I don't especially want to use a fake name, I just don't have a real one to
use... the machine I'm t

Hello,
Is there an easy way to set a fake hostname in rc.conf which will let sendmail
send mail to external domains?
For ages I've had the line in rc.conf
hostname="potato.fake_domain.net"

I am about as stupid as they come...I haven't used FreeBSD for a
couple of years, but I'm glad to say that I'm back, and that
FreeBSD5.0 is an improvement (I used 3.2...)
