In general, there should be an entry in /etc/hosts which contains both
your hostname and FQDN. The domain should match the one in
resolv.conf.
You can get around this for sendmail, by adding
Dj full.host.name
to sendmail.cf. However, sendmail isn't the only program which needs
to be able to determine your FQDN.

`unsafe map file' generally means that either the specified file or
its parent directory are group/world writable. You can eliminate the
warning by setting the DontBlameSendmail option appropriately.
