I would suggest setting the hostname as a different address from
localhost. There are multiple instances of sendmail that run, as your
rc.conf file has them enabled. You can use a private non-routable IP for
the hostname.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
OK, I think that I now have my hostname set properly in rc.conf and /etc/hosts
In rc.conf is the line hostname=xenon
In /etc/hosts there is one line: 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon
Upon bootup I get the following error:
xenon sm-mta [1556]: My unqualified host name (localhost) unknown;
sleeping for retry
Then after it sleeps a bit I get more errors. Finally, I just hig
ctrl-c to kill it
and the boot process continues.
I looked in the handbook in the Sendmail section and it referred to a file
in /etc/mail
called local-host-names and I put that file in with the line: xenon in
there, but with
the same results, so I am really not certain exactly what to do now.
I put the Sendmail config part of rc.conf below. I just want localhost
based Sendmail.
Thanks,
Rob.
