Cause

---

DNS and/or local hosts file hostname resolution problem.

Fix

---

For unix environments, try entering the fully qualified hostname in lower case,
for example:
SMTP Mail Gateway: server1.mycompany.com

If it continues to fail with the same error in the logs, verify the forward and
reverse resolution of the hostname, as per Note:141955.1 (also Note:157735.1 as
a reference). Also make sure the local hosts file contains the correct IP address followed by the proper single and fully qualified hostname.
