I'm having trouble getting my host name set up.  At boot time, I get

	myname.my.domain: BAD VALUE

Afterwards, the mail daemon gives me

	My host name (myname.my.domain) does not seem to exist!:
	Connection refused.

every time I try to send mail.

I've tried changing the host name to several different things, with
and without a domain.  I got the same errors every time.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jason
