I'm running 386bsd release 0.1 w/ patchkit 0.2.3, and Smail 3.1.28.  Recently,
we changed our machine name from com9 to comgate.  The 386bsd /etc files were
changed and there is no problem with the os it seems.  However, after changing
the Smail config file, the email software still thinks it's com9.

What must be done to get email to recognize the change?
