Is there a way to get sendmail or equivalent mailer to alias a system
name?  In particular, adm70 has just recently changed its name from
amd70 to amd.  The short term solution is for us to have both entries
in our L.sys file.  However, when we talk to amd, amd70 mail doesn't
get transmitted; we need to poll them a second time to get the mail
through.

Is it possible to alias a system name?  The sendmail documentation
seems to imply that it will not work.  Does anybody know for sure?
Is there any other way to alias a system name?
