That's a bit different to mine.
I have something like this in the mail aliases file on a machine called
"someone":

rowling:rowling@amachine
root:root@amachine

where in the hosts file on "someone" I have

192.xx.xxx.xxx    someone someone. loghost
192.xx.xxx.xxx   amachine amachine. mailhost

I don't have anything in the aliases file on "amachine", and its hosts file
has someting like this:

192.xx.xxx.xxx    someone someone.
192.xx.xxx.xxx   amachine amachine. loghost mailhost

Instead of "amachine." in both cases you can have the fully qualified domain
name like "amachine.some.com.au" if you are going outside (my setup is for
an intranet).

OK, it's not exactly dynamic, but it works.

Regards,

Jill.
