Either there is a local configuration issue (e.g. an incorrect line in /etc/hosts: IP_address alias canonical_hostname instead of IP_address canonical_hostname alias) or monit is sending invalid mails, using the unqualified hostname in the notification mails. If the latter is the cause monit should probably just use "From: monit" and let the local MTA qualify the mail correctly. cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
