Topic: postmaster@_HOSTNAME_> error?

[Shlemiel Painter]

My system was working great until I installed Clam and crashed it, so I did a fresh install and used my tape backup from the night before ( which was from when the system worked.)  Below is the error, any ideas??

This is what i get in my email every 15 minutes.

Return-Path: <>

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at altsource.ath.cx.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host named _HOSTNAME_. (#5.1.2)

sSMTP on 192.168.12.65 is unconfigured or misconfigured. Nothing to do with the SME server.
