Does anyone here know how to do this with the most recent sendmail
in potato (8.9.3) to receive mail for both domain.com and machine.domain.com,
etc.? It does _not_ work to just run sendmailconfig and choose to receive
mail for domains _&_ FQDNs--at least not on this box. It will only receive
mail to one or the other.
