Return address with sendmail says '<user>@localhost.localdomain'

0

I don't know why, but the return address of an email sent through sendmail using mailx says <user>@localhost.localdomain even though I have set LOCAL_DOMAIN to jwd.sytes.net. It works when I put 192.168.0.3 jwd.sytes.net as the first line of /etc/hosts, but then it isn't getting the real IP of jwd.sytes.net when someone types ping jwd.sytes.net. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

Have you tried to modify submit.mc (submit.cf) too?

No, I haven't. How should I edit it? I looked at the file, and nothing jumped out at me as being what needed to be changed. – BenjiWiebe – 2013-10-21T12:19:42.547
