Hi - Two things you should check.
1) In /etc/hosts make sure there is a valid entry for the hostname/domain
you gave your machine. An example would be something like...
192.168.10.14 freyr.yggdrasill.net freyr
If you have other aliases for your machine (in /etc/sendmail.cw), I believe
you will also want an entry for each of those.
2) In /etc/host.conf you will want a line that looks like...
order hosts,bind
As is sort of implied, ordering here is important. You want to make sure
it first looks in your /etc/hosts (hosts) before trying to contact a
name server (bind).
