  12. Hello,
  13.  
  14. We are having trouble with sendmail on our Sun.  If I define the relay
  15. host to be mailhost, here's what happens:
  16.  
  17. > cw@herman.mit.edu... Connecting to mailhost via ether...
  18. > cw@herman.mit.edu... Host unknown
  19. > Saving message in /home/usr/zchi/dead.letter
  20. > /home/usr/zchi/dead.letter... Sent
  21.  
  22. Now if I define the relay host to be localhost, here's what happens:
  23.  
  24. > cw@herman.mit.edu... Connecting to localhost via ether...
  25. > Trying 127.0.0.1...  connected.
  26. > 220 Hara.MIT.EDU Sendmail 4.1/SMI-4.1 ready at Tue, 15 Dec 92 01:55:19 EST
  27. > >>> HELO Hara.MIT.EDU
  28. > 553 Hara.MIT.EDU host name configuration error
  29. > >>> QUIT
  30. > 221 Hara.MIT.EDU closing connection
  31. > cw@herman.mit.edu... Service unavailable
  32. > Saving message in /home/usr/zchi/dead.letter
  33. > /home/usr/zchi/dead.letter... Sent
  34.  
  35. What goes wrong?  How do I go about fixing the errors?
  36.  
  37. Thanks!
