Ok, I guess my question is, DHCP automatically fills in the host part for
me. But since I host my own domain, should I overload the tellus.ab.ca and
change it to kooper.ca. I was thinking other packages such as sendmail or
qmail would use this thinking my domain is tellus.ab.ca. I couldn't find any
info on that.

Thanks for the 1000 I was reading up and down that man list.
