Forwarding roots mail

[Tom]

Hi list:

After a fresh install of FC4t2, I'm having a problem getting roots mail 
forwarded to my mail account.  This feature was working for me under FC4t1 
and FC3 but not now.

I edited the /etc/aliases file to send roots mail to my account and ran 
newaliases but that didn't make any change.

Here is the message I'm receiving:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Returned mail: see transcript for details
 Date: 04-17-2005  0429
 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON at localhost.home>
 To: root at localhost.home
 
The original message was received at Sun, 17 Apr 2005 04:29:32 -0700
from root at localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
root
    (reason: 553 5.5.4 <root at localhost.home>... Real domain name required for 
sender address)
    (expanded from: root)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to [127.0.0.1]:
>>> MAIL From:<root at localhost.home> SIZE=3979 AUTH=root at localhost.home
<<< 553 5.5.4 <root at localhost.home>... Real domain name required for sender 
address
501 5.6.0 Data format error

>From browsing the archives and sendmail documentation, I think I need to 
change something in sendmail.mc and then re-compile /etc/mail but I'm not 
sure of this and would like to get feedback before making any change here.
I'm also not sure from the documentation exactly where the real domain name 
(FQDN?) needs to go.  

This is a strictly in-home network with this computer being linux2.home 

contents of /etc/hosts
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
192.168.0.10	linux.home	linux
127.0.0.1	linux2	localhost.localdomain	localhost	#<<<<< the way FC4t2 set it
192.168.0.20	dos.home	dos
192.168.0.30	win2k.home	win2k
192.168.0.40	betty.home	betty

192.168.0.100	test.home	test
192.168.0.15	linux2.home	linux2

Hope someone can give me some clear direction here.

Thanks, Tom
