[Asterisk-Users] Re: problems with emailing voicemail

[hugolivude]

Guys,

Thanks again for all your help.  I've updated /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/hosts as per your suggestions:

/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1  <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost

/etc/hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
127.0.0.1  <my external, static IP address> asterisk localhost

But still no luck.  I've also noticed a problem when I boot the server.
Sendmail along with a number of other processes generate an errror message.
They're all pretty much the same error message and same line number so
here's an example:

etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit error line 3: 127.0.0.1 command not found

FWIW, I've included the first part of my etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit below.

I'm stumped.  This was working before, what could have possibly happened?
Any other ideas on how to fix it before I go and re-install RedHat??

Thanks,
Hugh
