Solaris 1.1 mail delivery

The original question was

> I am running Solaris 1.1 (SunOS4.1.3) on a SS2.

> It is simply running as a standalone, so it does have NIS running.

> Installation simply set

> /etc/defaultdomainname to (none) since it is the file OS checks before

> launching theNIS service.

>

> hostname gives you quasar, which is the name of the machine, but when

> a mail is sent to this address, the mail server of the net this machine

> is attached complains about quasar.noname not found.

> Should I simply modify /etc/hostname.le0 so fully qualified name like

> quasar.harc.edu so that the server can recognize this machine and deliver

> the mail?
