I have an Ubuntu server that I need to make sure the FQDN is correct.
The problem that I have is that when I send an email with using the mail
command I get root at localhost.localhost.  I am not sure why this is
happening.

 

Here is my host file:

cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       xlhost

206.222.X.X   mailer.clan-SeF.com     mailer          loghost mailhost

 

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

 

How can I see if my FQDM is set correctly?

 

Thanks

-T
