Fixing Sendmail

If Sendmail is not behaving as expected or hangs during installation, it might be because FQDN is not set.

Perform the following steps:

1. Set an FQDN for your Photon OS machine.

2. Run the following commands in the order below:

    echo $(hostname -f) > /etc/mail/local-host-names
   
        cat > /etc/mail/aliases << "EOF"
            postmaster: root
            MAILER-DAEMON: root
            EOF
   
        /bin/newaliases
   
        cd /etc/mail
   
        m4 m4/cf.m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
   
        chmod 700 /var/spool/clientmqueue
   
        chown smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/clientmqueue
