[Machine with two domain names, mail bouncing if sent to one of them]

I had exactly the same problem. My other internet provision is with
Demon Internet, and our 'real' machine is 'surfs-up.demon.co.uk'.
However, we've also got mailforwarding to the domain 'blueberry.co.uk'.

To configure sendmail for this, I edited /etc/sendmail.cf and changed
the line

    Cwlocalhost

to the two lines

    Cwsurfs-up
    Cwblueberry.co.uk

Since I wanted all e-mail to appear as though it's from blueberry.co.uk,
I then changed the masquerade line from

    DM

to

    DMblueberry.co.uk

and it works like a charm.
