Check the sysunconfig manpage on that system for an explanation of what
it does (and did). Your original /etc/inet/hosts file should now be in
/etc/inet/hosts.saved which is where your previously defined mailhost
is, by the looks of it.

WRT the logger issue, the default logger priority is user.notice which,
unless you changed the selectors/actions in syslog.conf, the default
setup will drop that priority (someone correct me). Try 'logger -p
user.err test' or something like that to see that it goes to
/var/adm/messages. See 'man syslog.conf'.
