RE: [TCLUG:1069] sendmail configuration ?

["Kapoor, Nishikant X" <Nishikant.X.Kapoor@nspco.com>]

So, I added the following two lines in /etc/hosts and restarted sendmail.

 [genx's ip address] genx.nspco.com genx
 [polaris' ip address] polaris.nspco.com polaris nspco.com 

And I get this error:

genx:/home/nkapoor::nkapoor> mailq -v
                Mail Queue (40 requests)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -Priority- ---Q-Time---

failure)
                                          nishikant.x.kapoor@nspco.com

Aleast I'm not getting this error any more.

file

But I still need some more help.
Thanks
