yep.

as a followup -

the machine is configured as grendel.sierraclub.org, which is not a valid 
domain.  what configuration file do I modify to make outbound mail from 
root that is generated by a cron job to have root at grassroots.sierraclub.org 
rather than root at grendel.sierraclub.org as the originating email 
address.  That was the purpose of the MASQUERADE command above. Since we 
can't use that for the reasons Jeff determined, I need an alternative.  I 
suppose we can add an MX record, but do we have other alternatives. 
(domains that drop mail from nonexistent addresses reject mail from grendel 
now)
