This is what's bugging me, though.  sendmail worked right out of the box.  I
installed it and it worked.

Reading pages out there I was prepared for an epic battle.  It seems to be
thought that getting sendmail to work is an exercise in frustration, but it
wasn't.

If I know Linux I know that if it ain't broke you still may need to fix it.

Anyway, I did change my machine's hostname (before reading) your post.
What, exactly, does it matter?
