Today i found many of the mails send from server12.netfreehost.com used for free web hosting bounced back with following error.
The original message was received at Mon, 16 May 2005 16:53:28 +0100
from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
—– The following addresses had permanent fatal errors —–
(reason: 553 localhost.localdomain does not exist)
—– Transcript of session follows —–
… while talking to mail.vip.hr.:
>>> MAIL From:
<<< 553 localhost.localdomain does not exist
501 5.6.0 Data format error
The mails are getting bounced because the hostname of the servers is set as
localhost.localdomain
To set the hostname, edit /etc/sysconfig/network
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
changed
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
to
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=server12.netfreehost.com
And restarted service network
# service network restart
Now hostname is server12.netfreehost.com
# hostname
server12.netfreehost.com
