Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration
Monday, July 14, 2008
This is a rather interesting talk that takes some very foundational ideas from open source software development, P2P networks, and social networking and implies that these paradigms can apply to a lot more.

You're pirates. Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway.

Sendmail Shows Return Address Domain localhost.localdomain

Sunday, July 18, 2004 by digitalpeer

Look in /etc/mail and you'll see a sendmail.mc. Edit this file to the proper domain. You're looking for the LOCAL_DOMAIN directive. Then, you'll have to reconfigure the real sendmail config file (sendmail.cf) by running
make -C /etc/mail

Just a warning- you'll need the sendmail-cf package installed to be able to do this. After that, everything should work pending a restart of the sendmail service.

That didn't work on mine. I had to edit the /etc/hosts file and put the host name before localhost entry then restart sendmail service.
