I had a similar dilemma when I hooked up my system via uucp to our local HP
office.  What I ended up doing was making my previous hostname (tigger), an
alias in /etc/hosts:

BEFORE:

192.1.2.11	tigger pw phil

AFTER:

192.1.2.11	acgrph tigger pw phil

Note that the official hostname changed from tigger to acgrph, but virtually
all net services will still work with tigger.  gethostbyname(3N) looks at
the aliases as well as the official name, hence ARPA, Berkeley and NFS
still work fine.  E.g.:

	% ftp acgrph
	% rlogin tigger
	% mount pw:/users/pw /users/pw

There may be a way to reconfigure sendmail/uucp, but I could not figure it out.
Hope this helps.

uucp: hpfcse!hpuepta!acgrph!pw
