I would like to use sendmail for my forms and e-mail on my webpage.

I'm using Debian (no GUI) with apache 1.3.

I don't think it's the form that is the problem, because I can't send mail at all. All mails ($ mail anyone@anyone.net) sent by me as a normal user are put in dead.letter.

When running sendmailconfig (all Yes) I get this error-message:
When searching on this error-message I found out that my system did't have a "real" name. Debian and localhost is not "qualified".

I've tried to edit the $j in sendmail.cf with no luck, and after running sendmailconfig (all Yes) the $j is back to default.

Q1. How do I give my system a "real name" that sendmail will accept?

Q2. If not - how do I configure sendmail so that I can send mail?

Please help!

Regards,

After posting the first message, I found out that my questiones perhaps was a newbie question.

That's why, and again: Sorry!
