Sendmail uses the system calls to resolve names. You need to check:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
In that file check the hosts line, this gives the order for hostname
resolution, typically it is files then dns.
Then you should check your /etc/hosts file to be sure that localhost
is there and correct.
Also check /etc/resolve.conf that you have the correct nameservers for
dns lookups.

Thanks, I look into all your suggestions. I think I have gone through
this before but
I do not install OS's often enough to remember these details. I also
have so many
books on Unix and related subjects, networking, dns, etc etc that I
forget where to
find the answer.
