Using Myname in the Permissions file allows us to change our uucp
gateway machine name without asking the world to change the way they
address mail to us. Wonderful!

But I have a question.

How will this affect mail and news? If mail is addressed to astph!bill
but is delivered to "crafty" which uses Myname to masquerade as
"astph", will it be delivered to crafty!bill where I really am? If
not, what can I do to get it delivered? Do I need to do anything to
news?

We are running ISC 2.2 with sendmail and "C" news.

Thanks
