Did this ever get resolved or anyone work out the syntax (or method otherwise) of
fixing this? Even with the newer line in sendmail.cf with the if_name's in - only
HELO's to main server fqdn.
Atm I've simply manually added IP and FQDN of the relevant server to /etc/hosts which
works just fine. Dnsreport shows all is good.
Brian's hostfix adds the fqdn of the server for every IP added via gui aliases / adding
a site - which may well be the issue as my own bodge above proves /etc/hosts is being
checked by HELO - however, manually doing as I did just means Brian's fix doesn't re-
add lines and just reads blank (thankfully) inbetween his comment start/end lines (I
added them under the cobalt section and above Brian's section).
Adding the fqdn as an additional alias on the IP line in /etc/hosts also failed to
work, only if it is the only (or first) entry occuring for that IP does it work.
Seeing as this may be a "lookup" issue of sorts I also tried adding "db", "nis" and
even removing "files" (leaving "dns" only) from the "hosts:" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
- none worked.
At least if you host important sites/hosts on unique IP's like me, this bodge works.
