Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sendmail
After upgrading from edgy to feisty, sendmail is no longer able to
automatically determine domain name, and then, fails to send mails.
A locally generated email for a remote destination shows:
===
Received: from xxx.mydomain.tld (localhost [127.0.0.1])
by ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
(8.13.8/8.13.8/Debian-3) with ESMTP id l2VEHi0q002193

it triggers a bounce:
reason: 501 Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s))
and in the logs, sm-mta says "DSN: Service unavailable"
This ";;" comes from sendmail.cf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/mail # grep ';;' *
sendmail.cf:Dj;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
sendmail.cf:Cw;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
sendmail.cf:CG;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
which is :
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
Dj;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I expected no Dj at all.
this .cf is automatically generated from sendmail.{mc,conf} using the
provided Makefile.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/mail # telnet 127.0.0.1 587
Trying 127.0.0.1...

This issue is new to festy. Edgy was okay. I'm no longer able to send
any mail from this feisty box and I can't find a way to fix that, please
advise.
