I have a runnable BIND without registered domain.
I've installed sendmail and I can send emails.
The problem is that when I try to send email to for example root@my.ip.address.here sendmail logs says Host unknown( name server: my.ip.address.here: host not found).
As I sayd I do not have a registered domain.
Is it possible for sendmail to receive emails without registered domain names ?

in your bind config or in your hosts file, make sure your my.ip.address.here can be resolved. try nslookup to see if the fully qualified domain can be resolved on your sendmail server.

it is possible for sendmail to receive emails without a registered domain. I have done this on a local lan for their intranet mail.

hope this helps.

The correct answer to this question is that I can send emails witchout having a register domain, as I said when I write this user@[123.123.123.123]
