Try changing the name of the web server in your httpd.conf file.
ServerName www.snoopy.com

On you mail server, edit /etc/sendmail.cw, and add snoopy.com to it.
(If your config is not set up to use the sendmail.cw file, you will have
to edit /etc/sendmail.cf and add Cwsnoopy.com in the local information
section.) If you don't have a /etc/sendmail.cw, check /etc/mail. If you
are not running sendmail, then someone else will have to tell you how to
add domains for your mail server. Basicly, what you are telling your mail
program is that it is the mail server for another host. This is a common
setup, where one machine handles mail for all the machines on the
network. You can set things up so that all mail to any local machine ends
up on one machine.
