I need help telling sendmail that we should be getting mail under two
different host.domain names.
We recently changed our Internet domain name, and made appropriate changes
everywhere (we hope :-), including sendmail.cf. The problem is, mail
addressed to the *old* address bounces due to "service unavailable".
Here is a look at what I (as postmaster) get:
(The old domain is "cancer.utexas.edu", the new one is "mda.uth.tmc.edu")

Connected to mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu:
>>> HELO mdaali.mda.uth.tmc.edu
<<< 553 mdaali.mda.uth.tmc.edu host name configuration error
554 <an12366@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu>... Service unavailable
We have set "Dwmdaali.mda.uth.tmc.edu"
Setting "Cwmdaali.cancer.utexas.edu mdaali.mda.uth.tmc.edu", as was
suggested to me, didn't change things.
I don't have great knowledge of these things, and the manual is its
usual cryptic self. I'd appreciate getting an e-mail (to the new address
(which works, thank goodness)) and I'll summarize answers. Please help us
stop bouncing most of our mail!
