I am trying to administer a little domain (masternet.it) here in italy for
a friends of mine that is an ISP.

I have a little problem... I'd like to receive mail in this way :

user@scotty.masternet.it (the name of the server)
and/or
user@masternet.it (the domain name)

but I'd like it'll be sent out as user@scotty.masternet.it _only_. 

Now is it possible to do it without telling all the users to change their
config from user@masternet.it to user@scotty.masternet.it ?

Here is part of my dns cfg.

--- cut ----

                IN      MX      10 scotty.masternet.it.
masternet.it.   IN      MX      10 scotty.masternet.it.
;
nt              IN      MX      10 scotty.masternet.it.
;
;masternet.it and nt.masternet.it are definined in the file sendmail.cw too
;
;*********      Hosts Address   ********
;
localhost.masternet.it.  IN      A       127.0.0.1
rib.masternet.it.        IN      A       194.184.65.1   ; Router INTERBUSINESS
masternet.it.            IN      A       194.184.65.2   ; masternet.it
scotty.masternet.it.     IN      A       194.184.65.2   ; scotty.masternet.it
spock.masternet.it.      IN      A       194.184.65.3   ; Macchina appoggio
hb1.masternet.it.        IN      A       194.184.65.5   ; HUB SNMP
nt.masternet.it.         IN      A       194.184.65.50  ; Server www

--- cut ---

before it works if I use a config like this :

localhost.masternet.it.  IN      A       127.0.0.1
rib.masternet.it.        IN      A       194.184.65.1   ; Router INTERBUSINESS
scotty.masternet.it.     IN      A       194.184.65.2   ; scotty.masternet.it
spock.masternet.it.      IN      A       194.184.65.3   ; Macchina appoggio
hb1.masternet.it.        IN      A       194.184.65.5   ; HUB SNMP
nt.masternet.it.         IN      A       194.184.65.50  ; Server www


masternet.it.            IN      CNAME    scotty.masternet.it.

without the mx lines.

--- cut ---

But in this second way I create a lot of troubles to other dns above us.

So any hints ? In the ORA DNS & bind it is said this is the way to do this
things (see example movie.edu :-) but it is not said it is the only one... :-)

Thanks for attention...
