Add kenjo.org to dc_other_hostnames:

       dc_other_hostnames
              is used to build the local_domains list, together  with  “local‐
              host”.   This  is  the  list  of  domains for which this machine
              should consider itself the final destination. The  local_domains
              list ends up in the macro MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS.
