I have a NeXT machine that does not automatically append its domain
when gethostbyname() is used.  So I add it explicitly by defining
DEFAULT_DOMAIN.  This does change the definition of $j as I would
expect, but it also defines the N option.  When I later run sendmail
it complains that the N option is obsolete, and puts a copy of every
mail in dead.letter.

Otherwise it works as expected, and if I comment out the ON-line
again, everything seems to be ok.

Have I misunderstood something, or are the sources and Sendmail.mc out
of sync in version 5.65c8/IDA-1.4.4.1?
