 But if your site inflicts 'user@tinytoy' on my sendmail, its gonna
be changed to 'user%tinytoy@your.relay.host', where 'your.relay.host'
means the host which actually connected to me - if not known to DNS
this might become 'user%tinytoy@[1.2.3.4]' (with the appropriate actual
internet address.

 I got tired of these unqualified addresses cropping up everywhere, and the
bounced mail they generate.  So I added this feature to the IDA package.
Look for an announcement soon of 'IDA-1.4.1' configuration kit.  This won't
solve all the problems of vendor supplied software which doesn't properly
qualify domains, but it should help.  (Sorry, it can't be done in non-IDA
versions of sendmail).
