Subject:   Sendmail hosed after hostname changed

Hi,
I've changed my hostname from larry.howse.no-ip.org to
larry.howse.homeunix.net.
I'm no longer getting my daily reports, or any mail from this machine on
my home network.
I have "sendmail_enable=3D"NO" in my rc.conf, not running an external =
mail
server, only need local mail.
I *think* I need to tell sendmail to use localhost as the relay, because
howse.homeunix.net is just a record in the dynamic dns server that I
use: dynDNS.org

I know very little about sendmail, can anyone help correct this problem?
