Well, that's not what you asked. It wasn't a priority because I didn't know 
this was a problem, and my "server" is a computer that I got for $25 at 
Boeing surplus to host my little domain that does nothing much. So I don't 
'prioritize' things relating to it.

I totally agree. Have any tips on how to do this? Should what I was doing 
to /etc/hosts work? And _is_ this what is causing the Sendmail problem?
