I'm presuming you're not interested in keeping domains separate within
sendmail (that is, set up virtual domains within sendmail). If that
assumption is correct, simply add all hostnames, hostname and
hostname+domain (ie., fully qualified) to the sendmail.cw file.
Sendmail will then happily act as the final delivery agent for the
those hosts. Sendmail can also, I believe, be configured to include
that information directly in the sendmail.cf file, but my book with the
m4 macros for building sendmail.cf is at my other office so I can't
give you syntax if you prefer to not include the sendmail.cw file.
