And is your hostname in there? What's your hostname?
Is your mail server on the same machine, or is it a different system?

[zaqavis]

my host name is "hblpk.com" there is only one server.
IP is 192.168.0.53

another question is this under /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
smart relay host option can I put IP adddress except host name.
