The original questions were:

> 1) Our fq hostname is cuccfa.ccc.columbia.edu. We also have an alias
> cuccfa.columbia.edu pointing to the same machine. The problem now is
> that email sent to the alias gets bounced back with a 'hostname not
> recognized as local' error. Email to the original address is received
> fine. How do I get emails to both?

Answer: the Cw line sendmail.cf has to list all domains that the machine
is/may be in. In my case,

Cwlocalhost cuccfa.ccc.columbia.edu cuccfa.columbia.edu

worked wonderfully.

> 2) Sendmail now thinks that our domain is ccc.columbia.edu, and appends
> this to any outgoing mail. How can I set it to append columbia.edu to
> outgoing mail instead of ccc.columbia.edu?

Answer: add DMcolumbia.edu in sendmail.cf

Again, much thanks to all.
