Try either:
1) Make sure your IP address translates to a fully qualified domain name
in DNS or NIS. However this is going to be difficult for most home
users with NAT-based IP addresses, since it my require running a local
DNS server. You probably have NAT. Which leaves...
2) In /etc/hosts, list both the unqualified *and* FQDN for the local
host. E.g.:
192.168.1.99 hostname hostname.domain.com loghost
Option 2 might be a challenge if you're using DHCP, however.
Not knowing what the heck is going and unable to remove them, I resorted to the
following expedient:
svcadm disable sendmail
Actually, unless sendmail has a config that works at least for sending
mail to local usernames, it shouldn't necessarily be enabled. And I
can't comment on whether the Solaris default is likely to work in your
case since I use a different manual config.
