I am supporting a machine that is configured for several
virtual hosts.  If mail is sent locally the name of the
virtual host is in the header - non local mail, however,
has the name of the true host. I would imagine this is 
something that is (can be) controlled within the sendmail.cf
file but I am not sure how to accomodate.
I realize this is somewhat vague but I can provide more info
as needed. Basically it is OS version BSDI BSD/OS 2.0 (running
the generic kernel supplied with the distribution).  Sendmail
is V8.6.10

Another question (related?) is that mail.local regularly complains
in maillog: localhost: Undefined error: 0.  Mail does go out and
I haven't seen a bounce due to this but it has me puzzled.
The machine is running as a secondary DNS server (running bind
4.9) and lookups and zone transfers all complete file.  Oddly,
however, a ping of any of the virtual hosts reports that the
host is down.  A misconfiguration somewhere I'd bet.

Any thoughts or pointers are appreciated.  If there is any good
doc out and about regarding the virtual host setup under BSDI
(or other similar OS's) I would be grateful to know where /how
to get ahold of it.

Thanks.
