Package: sendmail Version: 8.13.8 Severity: normal
I have sendmail installed on several servers of different customers. When I run sendmailconfig on _some_ servers I get message: WARNING: local host name (;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? As we can see there in brackets is an error message instead of true local host name. This message is returned from dns lookup procedure. But dns lookup has no problem (responses are pretty fast): hostname -f server.example.com host server.example.com server.example.com has address 10.22.19.126 host 10.22.19.126 126.19.22.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer server.example.com host -t mx example.com example.com mail is handled by 10 server.example.com. cat /etc/mailname server.example.com That error message appears on some lines in sendmail.cf too: Dj;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Cw;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached CG;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Which results in situation when other mail servers refuses e-mail from this server for that nonsense name. I must repair it myself "by hands", but Debian has "helpful" feature - after reboot is sendmail.cf autogenerated again with those error messages inside. I repeat: This problem occurs on some systems only. I can't find rule causing this abnormality.
