Setting Up Email with Sendmail

Posted on March 2, 2014

I’m trying to set up email using sendmail with this guide. http://holarails.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/configure-sendmail-in-ubuntu-12-04-and-make-it-fast/

However when I try to configure it, my host name is not qualified:

WARNING: local host name (ToSO) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I?

I’ve tried editing the host file but it still doesn’t change my host name. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

I cannot for the life of me understand why do people feel the need to come back and say “Nevermind” on a question other people may find useful.

You never said how you did it?

Never mind I got it to work.
