Hi all, Ive done this before but the solution alludes me now. Can someone please remind me how to change the default Redhat behavior of root email being sent from root@server.domain to root@domain. It's something in sendmail.mc from memory.

From memory, Sendmail will default to user@host if there's no fully

qualified domain name for either localhost or the system's 'base' IP address in /etc/hosts.

There's probably a more correct Sendmail approach too. Checking /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl

Looks a likely candidate.

Will.
