[expert] dumb question about the HOSTNAME

[Franki]

hi all,,

this is going to sound dumb,, but maybe someone can enlighten me,,

the file /etc/hostname

should have your full hostname + domain name?

ie server1.mydomain.com.au

if that is the case,, must server1 be a resolvable address?

The reason I ask, is that apache or sendmail is getting the mail from part
of my scripts wrong,,

it is mailing the emails as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

so I am trying to work out what part of my setup is giving the wrong
address...

can anyone help me with any of this?

kindest regards...
