	From what ?
	Have you ALSO updated router scripts ?

	It all depends...

	Do you have a   /etc/mail.conf   ??
	Example from nic.funet.fi:

#  Zmailer host dependent information
#
# Where am I?
orgdomain=nic.funet.fi
# Who am I?
hostname=nic.funet.fi
# What do I tell people?
mydomain=$hostname
# World hack!
world=world.$hostname

	If that file doesn't exist (it is referred by your
	$MAILSHARE/router.cf file), then the router uses some
	default values, which it prints at the startup:
		$MAILBIN/router -i


	File   $MAILVAR/db/localnames   had (in the old days)
	style of mapping any mentioned name in it into the local
	name, UNLESS entry lines have tokens in same line:
	Line:
		archie.funet.fi
	produces mapping to:
		$mydomain
	but line:
		archie.funet.fi		archie.funet.fi
	produces output mapping to:
		archie.funet.fi
	(e.g. keeps it the same!)

	Newer scripts (but still fairly old..) changed this.  Now
	the outcoming address stays the same, unless there is
	a MAPPING entry in the localnames, e.g.:

#
ftp.fi.kernel.org
dua			dua.funet.fi
dua.funet.fi
finfiles		finfiles.bitnet
finfiles.bitnet
fiport.bitnet		fiport.funet.fi
ftp			ftp.funet.fi
ftp.funet.fi
info			info.funet.fi
info.funet.fi
irc-test		irc.funet.fi
irc-test.funet.fi	irc.funet.fi
irc.funet.fi
ircd.funet.fi		irc.funet.fi
irce.funet.fi		irc.funet.fi
ircf.funet.fi		irc.funet.fi
ircg.funet.fi		irc.funet.fi
kalmari.funet.fi	irc.funet.fi
lists			lists.funet.fi
lists.funet.fi
localhost		localhost
localhost.funet.fi	localhost
loghost			loghost
loghost.funet.fi	loghost
nic			nic.funet.fi
nic.funet.fi

	just some samples out of that file...
