I think you're right on. This is an old problem, usually related to "localhost" or dummy network support. Something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost your_server_shortname in /etc/hosts should fix it. Otherwise, you can fiddle with the invocation switches on the sendmail command line (in Debian, that's in /etc/init.d/sendmail). -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
