I am uncertain about the order in which the various rulesets are applied
to addresses.  I understand that different versions of sendmail have 
sometimes modified this ordering.  In particular, I'm interested in the
rulesets that derive the $g (address of sender relative to recipient) 
macro.

From examining the sources I believe that the order is:

	3, 0, 2, R, 4

but I'm not really sure of this.  I have heard that this ordering is
different on, say, Sun 3.2 based systems.

If someone would post the raw data, I'd be happy to spend a few hours
banging into a data flow diagram, (in PostScript) form, and then reposting 
it to this newsgroup, so everyone benefits.

Thanks,
