The system had sendmail installed on it by default (Redhat doesn't
have zmailer rpms yet :(
Could it be possible that the system is using the old "sendmail"
binary instead of the zmailer compatibility one?  I'll check that
now...

I have, and localnames contains the appropriate sorted list.

So the system should know itself.  I have the exact same version of
zmailer running happily on my home system, the only difference being
my home system only needs to accept mail for one address (and that
mail generally comes from localhost anyway via POP3)
If it makes any difference, ftp, www, mail, etc on goldweb are all the
one machine, and the DNS maps them to the address and not with
CNAME's.
