   Note that the file is not necessarily called 'sendmail.cw'.  In fact,
with later Red Hat releases (and I think all recent sendmails), it's
/etc/mail/local-host-names.  The way to be sure is to look for the line in
sendmail.cf that starts with 'Fw', such as:
Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names
  or
Fw/etc/sendmail.cw

   Hosts can also be listed directly in the .cf by adding to the 'Cw' 
line, but I think the separate file is easier.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
