This is happening to me on 2 non-cpanel servers that we're running. Basically the title of the email reads something like: lfd on localhost.localdomain

How do we get localhost.localdomain to be the actual hostname of the server?

We have our hostname attached to each IP in /etc/hosts. On 1 server, the sending email is showing: root@ourdomain.com, but for some reason the other one is still: root@localhost.localdomain

These servers are configured basically identically, both running CentOS 7, both setup side by side at the same time. I have no idea where they are handling this differently but we manage enough servers I have to get the title and sending email corrected.

On all of our cpanel servers the emails read LFD on myserver.mydomain.com, etc. I compared CSF configurations and our host file and can't find any differences here, so it must be handled somewhere else. We haven't messed with the email templates on any of these servers. Can anyone point me to where CSF pulls the domain in the title, and where the domain in the sender's address is pulled from, since that part works on 1 server but not on the other and they're configured identically.

To add both of these are using sendmail.

When I issue: sendmail -d0.1 -bv root

I get:

Also, if I use the command: hostname it shows the correct hostname for the server and not localhost.localdomain.

Ok, I think I got it. Even though the hostname was showing correctly using the: hostname command, I went ahead and issues a hostnamectl set-hostname mysubdomain.mydomain.com command. After restarting LFD, it seems to be working now.
