as long as you set it correctly in /etc/hosts sendmail will always resolve the local domain ok.

So how to I actually change my hostname, and what do it put in my hosts file?, it has this in it at the moment :

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Well I set my hostname with the "hostname -v" command and added this line to my /etc/hosts file but sendmail still doesn't work, it just won't start :
