You want /etc/mail/local-host-names
/etc/mail/relay-domains = "accept and queue mail for these domains" - like if
you are a backup MX.

You can do that even by default. Sendmail will accept domain literal
addresses, happen your machine is up.
However, if it is a static IP you are better off setting a DNS record for it.

NEVER point an MX record directly to an IP.
The way to go is -
@ IN MX 10 mailserver
mailserver IN A 10.0.0.1
assuming your mailserver's IP is 10.0.0.1

LOST #292 -**< Sub : Recovering an accidentally deleted boot.b >**-
The boot.b file along with chain.b and os2_d.b are created at
the time of compilation of LILO. The options for recovery are:
a) re-compile and re-install b) Do a "lilo -V" and get version
number in use. Copy a boot.b of exactly the same LILO version
from another box. c) Remove lilo and re-install from distro CD
