It would really best to supply the whole host.domain in the file for the entry. Since you also have 2 different networks, sendmail may be having trouble figuring out what the server really is. The 192.168 address resolves differently than the 69.234 address. And the 69.234 address doesn't reverse to the same name set in /etc/hosts. This confusion can very much cause sendmail to get all turned around and stall. You might want to consider looking at your logs to see if you have errors reflecting this.
Looks like it - I keep seeing:
Apr 18 09:07:45 mhrichter sendmail[3376]: My unqualified host name (mhrichter) unknown; sleeping for retry Apr 18 09:08:45 mhrichter sendmail[3376]: unable to qualify my own domain name (mhrichter) -- using short name
The original host name was something like adsl-69-234-xx-xx-<something>.<an att thing>.com. IIUTC, you're saying I should include that original domain name on the host name line.
The 192.138 address is a local subdomain for the VMWare server NAT (which works really nicely) - would I need to modify that one, too or just the host?
Are you using the stock drivers or the proprietary nForce chipset drivers?
Whatever CentOS used when it came up from the install, most likely the stock drivers. I haven't looked to see if there are any updates since these were working fine from install to present. I'll see what's there....
Thanks.
