Frequently, systems wish to hide their true identity, serve as mail gateways,
or receive and process mail addressed to `old' names by which they used to be
known.
<P>
PSEUDONYMS specifies the list of all hostnames for which the local
system will accept mail.
<P>
DEFAULT_HOST specifies the hostname that will appear in messages
originating on the local host. It is important that this parameter be set
to a valid value or all return mail will be undeliverable.
