Some great info there.  But, sendmail is working perfectly as it is right
now and I did very, very little configuring and/or file manipulation.

I guess I'm just wondering what sendmail is doing when my hostname is set to
foo.com as opposed to simply foo.

The mail goes out and reaches its target either way, but there is a 30-40
second delay when there is no .com

What advantages are there to getting a FQDN from DynDns?
