Hi -

I have a question that has been puzzling me for a while.  My school's
domain is set up like this: host.department.sjsu.edu.

Now, in my local domain +ee.sjsu.edu, I do not have a machine called
'ee'.  All mail now appears to have the header

	from: user@host.ee.sjsu.edu

in this domain (all hosts are on the same net). Now, do I have to have a 
machine called ee to serve this domain if I want to send mail outside this
domain and receive mail from outside this domain?  How do I set up the 
sendmail.cf so that there appears to be a host called 'ee' but actually not 
while still allowing each host to have the fully qualified domainname 
host.ee.sjsu.edu appearing on the message header?

One of the machines in this domain is serving as a mail host 
- say host1.ee.sjsu.edu. Do i have to name it 'ee' in order to get mail
from outside?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Bruce
