Accepting emails locally for domains that are not in the hosts file

Hello,

I am using the default configuration that came with fedora4.
I would like to be able to accept emails from outside for domains that
are not specified in the hosts file.
Currently i must put this in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 domainname.com where domainname.com is the domain I want to
receive the mail for.
If I don't specify that I receive relaying denied error.
If I allow relaying, the email will go to domainname.com which I don't
know to be send to.(assuiming it is configured somewhere) I want the
email to be delivered locally.
Is it possible to set above without putting any references to
domainname.com in hosts file?

thx

Take a look at the feature 'use_cw_file', this lists all the domains or
host names that are to be treated as local.
