In my /etc/aliases file I have the entry:
root:	my-logs@myisp.com
hoping that my messages should end up as email messages.

Doing a
[root@syvert log]# tail maillog
lists messages like
Jan 24 08:19:24 syvert sendmail[4646]: h0M2327q001033: to=<my-
logs@myisp.com>, ctladdr=<root@syvert.la3sg.net> (0/0), 
delay=2+05:16:11, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=9840374, 
relay=mailfront.server.myisp.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation 
timed out with mailfront.server.myisp.com.

Apparently my isp's mail server rejects root@syvert.la3sg.net since it 
does not resolve, while emails to syvert@la3sg.net are accepted.
How can I change the email address of my v4.7 server from 
root@syvert.la3sg.net to syvert@la3sg.net ?

During setup I have specified host names like sexy.la3sg.net 
syvert.la3sg.net nina.la3sg.net etc.. for the PCs on my LAN leaving 
them all in the domain la3sg.net

Is there a better way to solve my problem than to change the email 
addresses on each of the PCs?

regards from Kjell / LA3SG
