Hello, I have been studing sendmail for a while and I am a little
confused over How sendmail determines what the LOCAL domain name is.

My sVr4 system has the name "sw2020.ki.icl.se".  I thougt that this would
make the LOCAL varible contain "ki.icl.se", but it seems to match both 
"icl.se" and "ki.icl.se"

Here is the definition part of sendmail.cf:


Dmki.icl.se
Dwsw2020
Cwsw2020 sw2020.ki.icl.se
Cmki.icl.se

-------------------

This could be wrong  :-(     if it is, Please tell me how.

What happends is that if i send something off to " user@icl.se" which is 
our toplevel domain, sendmail converts it to "user@ki.icl.se".  

What sendmail -bt  tells me is as follows:

ADDRESS TEST MODE
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> rewrite: ruleset  3   input: "user" "@" "icl" "." "se"
rewrite: ruleset  6   input: "user" "<" "@" "icl" "." "se" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  6 returns: "user" "<" "@" "LOCAL" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  3 returns: "user" "<" "@" "LOCAL" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  1   input: "user" "<" "@" "LOCAL" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  1 returns: "user" "<" "@" "LOCAL" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  0   input: "user" "<" "@" "LOCAL" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  9   input: "user" "<" "@" "ki" "." "icl" "." "se" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  9 returns: "user" "<" "@" "ki" "." "icl" "." "se" ">"
rewrite: ruleset  0 returns: $# "ether" $@ "butler" $: "user" "<" "@" "ki" "." "icl" "." "se" ">"
> 

As you can se it accept's "icl.se" as LOCAL and then Replaces it with 
"ki.icl.se".

When I comment away the "Dmki.icl.se" macro from sendmail.cf this behaivor 
dissapears. LOCAL gets converted back to "icl.se" again.
So obviously the "Dmki.icl.se" record makes sendmail use that as its LOCAL
domain at some point in time.  But where does it pick up "icl.se" as a 
synonym for LOCAL. Its not in sendmail.cf.

My domain name in /etc/resolv.conf is "ki.icl.se".
domainname(1M) returns "ki.icl.se"

Any ideas ?
