I have been trying to track down a problem (I think with sendmail) on a
5.0-RELEASE system: 

lorax[/etc/mail]$ uname -a
FreeBSD lorax.forestry.umn.edu 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Tue
Feb  4 13:54:49 CST 2003    
kwythers@lorax.forestry.umn.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LORAX_SMP_KERNEL 
i386

I get a startup message like this:

Mar 11 03:02:52 lorax sm-mta[22980]: h2B92pBL022966: SYSERR(root):
x74-47.forestry.umn.edu. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
Mar 11 03:02:52 lorax sm-mta[22985]: h2B92qBL022981: SYSERR(root):
x74-47.forestry.umn.edu. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
Mar 11 10:15:49 lorax su: kwythers to root on /dev/ttyp0

According to what I've read in the sendmail FAQ, it looks like I need to
add my local hostname to /etc/mail/local-host-names. However my system
does not seems to have a local-host-names file. Why wasn't this file
created when I did a standard cd install? Is this something I need to
add manually?  Or am I completely on the wrong track here?

thanks
