When I installed freeBSD (4.2 Stable) I entered my host
as akadanak and the domain as kc.rr.com 
rc.conf shows hostname=akadanak.kc.rr.com

The problem is that MySQL and apache both say
cannot resolve hostname using localhost which is OK
by me. 
However, when I try and use mail it tells me that the mail 
was rejected because root@akadanak.kc.rr.com does 
not exist.

I connect to the internet just fine through roadrunner so
I have a hostname but what should it be so these things
will work?
