MailScanner on Red Hat 8.0 and Exchange

Even though the exchange box is sending mail for one domain known on the
internet the exchange is sending mail to the sendmail box as though it
was from the local W2K domain as the guru who set it up called it two
different things. So, I could masquerade it, as I saw that in exchange
somewhere, (just above the smart host) or I can leave it as it is
because I put the w2k domain name into the relay sections of sendmail.

Thanks,

Steve
