That's what you have to do when you have a machine with two (or more)
ethernet boards in it.

This is generally not avoidable unless you want to muck about with multiple
sendmail.cf files and /etc/hosts files and...well, you get the idea.
It's a lot easier to try and set up a machine with two (or more) names
than it is to manipulate different config files and try and maintain a
distribution list.  The first one you only have to do once.
