Thank you for  this suggestion.  I added ‘.localdomain’ to  my host name
and now Sendmail  uses  this  domain  name  on  all networks.  Cron mail
arrives again at home.

I did  not want to  try a ‘real’  domain name,  as  this could  make the
system  accessible  from outside  the  local  network,  if  I understand
correctly.  Right now  it is  hidden behind  the router  and only  has a
local IP address.  I would like to  keep it that way,  because then I do
not have to worry about network security settings.  Nevertheless you led
me to a solution.

Thank you,

Bas
