Howdy,

We now have several domain names pointing to our main Red Hat server. Most of them are 
for various  web sites and are only used by Apache. However we do have this situation:
our original intention was to name this box newhostname.our_domain.our_tld and we did, 
and that's what's in /etc/hosts however we can't send mail to that box because all 
mail going to our domain is snarfed up by our NT mail server :-/ which my boss doesn't 
want to change.

So he bought a new domain name today, just for the Linux server, the primary reason 
being that we should now be able to send and receive mail there.

So my question is, do I need to put the new domain name in /etc/hosts, or anywhere 
else?
If not will it affect sendmail? Will sendmail pick up mail sent to that domain simply 
because the DNS and MX record point there? And how will it know to put "from: 
*@newdomain.com" on outgoing mail?

Basically I've never dealt with multiple host/domain names and I'm not sure what to do 
:-)
