Re: Proper naming of gateway host

Quoted from Gary O'Neill:

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.hedgee.com. :-)

Seriously, anything you like. _I_'d pick the external name, but that's
totally up to you.

> It currently considers itself to be hedgehog.dhs.org.

Yep, that's fine.

> Also, which hostname should the qmail 'me' file be set to?

qmail-control(5) says that ``me'' should say the FQDN of the current
host. So, I guess hedgehog.dhs.org would be fine. Also, I don't think
the ``me'' control file is used directly by any program; it just
serves as a default for other control files. So you can fine tune the
name used in other control files, as appropriate.
