Sendmail /etc/hosts and DNS ... what is the correct way?
- by ben
I found one tutorial on setting up sendmail that says that in the /etc/hosts file, "The entry for 127.0.0.1 must always be followed by the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server." Like so:
127.0.0.1 bigboy.my-site.com localhost.localdomain localhost bigboy
(This tutorial is here).
However, I can't find anyone else suggesting something…
