.... I am getting sendmail notifications in my messages file as such:

This is happening (I think) because I am on a LAN, w/ no domain name, no
DNS servers running, just local machine names. I got/get the same thing
under linux, although I get fewer of them because Linux combines all of
its logwatch stuff into 1 grand message, so only 1 batch of these
notifications. I am getting more under FBSD 9.3 because I get more
logwatch/cron messages, each begetting a group of the above
notifications. These are kinda swamping other stuff in the messages
file, is there a way to suppress these notifications from sendmail ? TIA
