my hostname defined by dhcp is hovel2. but it's not qualified hostname, and sendmail can't work properly. I used posftix with halo as a temporary solution, but i hope it will be fixed.

I believe this can be fixed by running postconf -e 'myhostname = mail.yourhost.TLD' However, you'll need permissions to run it. I wasn't able to su since root is disabled, and my server account isn't on the sudo list. Argh. I also tried manually editing the file, again permissions.
