>Description:
On <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sendmail.html>, example.com is plaintext, but mail.example.com uses the <hostid> tag. It seems to me that domain names should get the same treatment whether they're partial domain names or full hostnames -- I initially thought someone had just forgotten the tages around example.com

    <para>This is a list of hostnames &man.sendmail.8; is to accept as
      the local host name.  Place any domains or hosts that
      <application>sendmail</application> is to be receiving mail for.
      For example, if this mail server was to accept mail for the
      domain example.com and the host
      <hostid>mail.example.com</hostid>, its
      <filename>local-host-names</filename> might look something like
      this:</para>

>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
1) Change <hostid> tags to <domainname> tags, and use this for both, OR
2) Create a new similar <domainname> tag and use this for non-hostid domain names (which seems overly complicated)
