Where does sendmail get the names which are set in Cw?

I have this machine, cc.rochester.edu.  Its real name is
"vera.cc.rochester.edu".  Since no standard macro or class includes the
alias, I have to kludge up my beautiful sendmail.cf to handle this.

It's also very annoying that you can't use fully qualified names in a
class, such as

CW$w cc.rochester.edu

or something like that, because the dots in the name screw up the class
definition.
