In order to bypass the problem I did this after having edited dialup.m4 manually:
# cd /etc/mail/m4 # mv dialup.m4 dialup-good.m4 # ln -s dialup-good.m4 dialup.m4 I don't know why, but the function update_host() in /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic, which is responsible for creating dialup.m4, refrains from touching it if it is a symbolic link. -- [feisty] sendmail unable to automatically determine domain name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
