email problem

[Sean]

SCNC uses FreeBSD.

Does your machine have a "real" name on the network?
like hendrix.lsd.*

If not I would probably override the sendmail.cf file
##################
#   local info   #
##################
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your
domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
---
Djlsd.k12.mi.us

I forget whether the $w has to be in there or not.
or you could add it to the local relays, I believe.
