When I created my droplet I entered a hostname of “stevetest”. Now when I run hostname or hostname -f I get:
stevetest
When I try to send an email using sendmail I get the following error:
"sm-msp-queue[987]: unable to qualify my own domain name"
How do I fix the the above sendmail error if I have multiple domains pointing to the droplet? I’m not sure how I set the FQDN and/or modify /etc/hosts if I have www.example.com, www.bob.com and www.steve.com all pointing to this droplet?

You can try this first:
If that doesn’t work, just run this:
edit /etc/hosts, changing all instances of “stevetest” with your hostname, restart postfix, and you should be good.
I’d still advise rebooting, but that shouldn’t be needed.
Also, you may have a file named “/etc/hostname”
If you do, make the change there as well.
