Mapping them via the /etc/hosts file will work for local connections as
long as every machine has the information in their /etc/hosts.

Sendmail may not deliver from one machine to the next, depending on your
Sendmail setup, but it will work for local delivery.

Sendmail is an smtp server which means that it shuffles mail from one
place to another. If you want to download Mail, then you will need an
Imap or a POP server running as well. 

Most POP servers only require a username (not username at domain.com), and
a password.

What version of Linux are you using?  Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian,
etc...

Linuxconf is very out of date.  You might consider using Webmin instead.
In most distributions you can also use the useradd command.
