Greetings,

I want to hack my sendmail.cf (I think) so that my machine
name changes. Do I do this in ruleset 0 where it handles local
or do I do it in ruleset 3 (for pre-processing)? Or do I do it at all.

Perhaps if I explained exactly what I need to do:

     Real World:
        dave@merit.houston.tx.us
        or similar bangpath needs to become:

        dave@sun1

          )(or sun1.merit if you prefer)

    All of our mail comes into one place a machine called sun1
    (yes, I know I didn't pick the name and can't change it)(
    in the domain merit. We are running yellow pages. It also
      thinks the domain is merit.

So, I need to hack incoming and outgoing uucp traffic to maskl
my idiotic choice of machine name to an ok domain name.
The other thin
BTW This -- This mauy\y not belogng here, but let me run it past you guys...
I can't find the docs on hostmailhosts anywhere. Even though I have
uucp the L.sys files setup mailing to "joe!outsideuucp" blowsup up.
I get host unknown error messages. (sigh)

I have read the sendmail docs front to back, but it they do not discuss
the philiosophy of remappingyour your host name. Suggestonsions?
