Do you have to use IPv6??
Otherwise switch that off.... because fec0::a00:20ff:fed1:46ad is an IPv6
address...
ifconfig hme0 inet6 unplumb...

Hi,

I think the problem is solved:

What happen:

1) I had the empty file /etc/hostname6.hme0
2) the system starts IPv6
3) the name-resolution from sendmail uses the IP address to
resolve the hostname

removing /etc/hostname6.hme0 solves the problem

That's what I suggested with the unplumb... ;-)

Cheers..
