You should be able to add the new domain name as an alias. For example, I've
got one compnay that has 3 different domain names registered. By adding 3
host alias's all the email accounts under the original host can be accessed
and sent to using any of the 3 domain names.... know what I mean?
Just create an alias for the new domain under the existing host and you
won't need to change any user settings. Mail can be sent to either address -
with or without the hyphen.
Hope thats what you were after.
