- I have a cluster of HPs set up here (two 710s, one 720). One 710 is the
- server, one is a client, and the 720 is a client.
-
- The person who I set these machines up for wants to recieve mail at a specific
- address which is currently assigned to a client, not the server. According
- to what I know, the clients cannot receive mail, only the server can (great
- design, huh?).
-
- So what I want to do is swap the names of the two 710s. I have been told that
- there is no way to do this without re-installing the OS. Is there any other
- way to do this?
-
- Since this may be of more general interest, I am posting my
- suggestion:
-
- There is no need to rename the machines; use the site hiding option in
- sendmail.cf to hide the name of the machine of the user.
