One example of part of how this feature of IDA sendmail works
if you have set up a CSO phonebook server:

The program 'phquery' takes a fuzzy mail message from sendmail, queries 
your CSO server (e.g. 'qi') to translate the name into an address, 
and reinvokes a sendmail to send the translated message or a bounce 
error message.
