If you want to change the local mail domain,
you have to use the option

	-d me.coraid.com

The man page clearly says that if that's not specified,
then it uses $site with the domain from the server name.
So you're expected to use

	site=glenda

and then it turns that into glenda.coraid.com.

I'm not claiming it's fantastic--I'd get rid
of $site entirely--but it is working as documented.
You're just not using it the way it's intended to be used.
