RE: {bb} No email alerts with Solaris 5.6?

["Lewis, Terry {Info~Palo Alto}" <TERRY.LEWIS@ROCHE.COM>]

Burton,

  Can your Solaris system send out non-BB email?  
You might find a clue or two if you run this command:

/usr/lib/sendmail -v myname@myserver.mydomain < /dev/null

You might also check to ensure your /etc/hosts file
specifies the fully qualified host name w/domain for its own
IP address.  I've seen flaky interactions with other mail
systems when the Solaris host knows itself only by its
short name.  My Solaris /etc/hosts files contain the long
name followed by the short name and associated aliases.
