I'm having problems getting my internal mail working. What I'm trying to
do is email another internal user.
#mail cowz

It never makes it to the user. After some investigation i found
/var/log/maillog:

[localhost]: host name lookup failure

I assume the localhost is the problem but i cant figure out where to
change that setting. My /etc/hosts looks:
127.0.0.1	bathory	bathory.aria
::1	bathory	bathory.aria
192.168.0.203	bathory	bathory.aria
And in my /etc/rc.conf i have hostname="bathory.aria"
My sendmail configuration looks like this(/etc/rc.conf):
mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail"
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server)
sendmail_submit_enable="YES"	# Start a localhost-only MTA for mail
submission
sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost`"
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES"
sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES"	
sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m"

This is the default configureation with 4.6 i assumed it would work. The
one possible sollution i came up with was chaging the 
sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost"
to
sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=bathory.aria"

but that doesnt work. Will someone please help me out. I have no idea
what to do
