Sounds like some of the company "policies" here. Many make no sense, or are written by people who have no clue how things work, or any thing resembling a real standard. I would bring up to whoever maintains policy (human resources?) that is an incorrect policy, and I believe it violates rfc's. It could cause you problems with other software in the future.Scott Silva <ssilva <at> sgvwater.com> writes:Your hostname is not a FQDN. You shouldn't use your domain name as the complete hostname. A FQDN needs a machine name in addition to the domainname.So your machine could just be named mail.example.com also.I know that Scott, however the specific machine cannot be renamed to anything else (company policy). Also, Postfix which is run on the same server, works just fine configured to use mail.example.com as hostname (mail.example.com has a valid A record pointing to same IP).All other server apps (eg PHP, mailx, system alerts etc) use system's sendmail and have no problem using mail.inray.com for both HELO/EHLO and message ID.If monit was able to send alerts using system's sendmail, it would work too.Anyway in its current form, I think that is easier to implement a "hostname" configurable option.Athan
