A laptop running 6-STABLE is connected to the Internet thru a DSL modem-router doing NAT. It gets a dynamic local IP (fairly recurring 192.168.1.33) at every boot. Of course there is no FQDN for this host. Lately (after a sendmail upgrade?) init shows some oddities: /etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: sendmail_submit_enable is set to YES. /etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30 m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost().
