How do I configure smail to strip off the local domain name from the
nameserver?  That is, if I mail to a local machine, say "barfbag", then the
nameserver returns "barfbag.es.com".  However, when the mail arrives at
"barfbag" it junks it since it isn't necessarily using the name server and
doesn't realize that "barfbag" = "barfbag.es.com".  I just want to strip off
machines that fall under "es.com" and nothing else.
