Thanks John,

	With the few computers I look after (and my place on the learning
curve), I thought keeping it simple and just using entries in /etc/hosts
for each was the way to start.  So sendmail needs more , than that?
When all is set up as needed for family and business then bind would be
needed (along with LDAP, IMAP and web servers) but I have not started
reading on any of them yet.  This is why I like this list, a good
cross-section of Fedora implementations and platforms, with users
ranging fom novice (me) to well seasoned and experienced.
