Thats one of the first things I thought of, however if I do that I get
another couple of problems

1) If I try to send email to other address within the blueyonder.co.uk
   domain sendmail tries to send the mail locally, which obviously fails.
   How can I tell sendmail which addresses are local?

2) Also setting my host in /etc/hosts sets the correct domain name
   in the Return-Path header but the user name is wrong. How can
   I change the ram to r.a.mercer?

Cheers

Adam
