I have sendmail running on my home RH9 box, and have a question about proper
setup of hostnames.
When trying to send email to the XFce listserv, my messages are getting
bounced because its reading the hostname of the machine (called HOME) and
saying it cannot look up that name.
Headers from a failed message:
***

Obviously the name lookup for localhost and home will fail; what needs to be
changed to allow for a proper lookup?
Thanks.
