[foxboro] Sendmail error

List,
 

Whenever I e-mail anything from my AW51G box with Solaris 8, I keep
getting a sendmail error that says "unable to qualify my own domain name
(AWNAME) - using short name".

 

I looked this up on Google, and they keep telling you to put an entry in
the /etc/hosts file with the IP address and domain name, but they are
assuming that you have a valid domain name (in DNS I suppose) , which I
really don't.  Has anybody figured out how to get rid of this error
message?
