	I have this file at my workstation:
-----  /etc/mail.conf -------
#  Zmailer host dependent information
#
# Where am I?
orgdomain=tmt.tele.fi
# Who am I?
hostname=mea.$orgdomain
#hostname=$orgdomain
# What do I tell people?
#mydomain=$orgdomain
mydomain=$hostname
# World hack!
#world=world.$orgdomain
--------------------------------

	I have had it for ages... (or rather, nic.funet.fi has
	had similar for ages..)

	At the INSTALL file, chapter 7 starts with talk about
	this file...

	Post them to me, or make them FTP or HTTP downloadable.
