Either set up a DNS server for your local network or add some entries to /etc/hosts. sendmail likes to be able to resolve its IP address into an FQDN and will bitch if it can't.

Errr... excuse the cluelessness, but how would you recommend doing that? I don't run local DNS, and the DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf point to my ISPs nameservers on the other side of my firewall. Is this a problem because my firewall assigns IP addresses to the workstations on my LAN via DHCP? I'm still learning lots of things about networking...
