[Asterisk-Users] Question with email notification

[dabigshiznizzle]

I had this problem and solved by editing /etc/hosts and moved 
localhost.localdomain to appear after my fully qualified domain name.  I 
am running sendmail on RH9.

127.0.0.1       domain.net asterisk asterisk.domain.net localhost 
localhost.localdomain
