In comp.sys.sun you write:

My e-mail to you bounced back. That's why I am posting this.
I ran into this problem when I configure sendmail.cf for one of our
machines (wild.rose.utoronto.ca). To get around that problem, I modified
both rules 6 and 0 (i.e. S6 and S0). A brief description of how to do it
is as follows:
(1) in S6, you convert all occurrance of lanka related names to the full
IP address: That is:
lanka.ccit.domain -> lanka
lanka -> lanka.ccit
lanka.ccit -> lanka.ccit.domain
(you MUST parse the name according to the above sequence because the
rules are parsed top-down). The field "domain" above is "arizona.edu"
in your case (correspond to $=m)
(2) in S0, convert all occurrance of "lanka.ccit.arizona.edu" to <$LOCAL>.
This will take care of the local mailing.
(3) Change "Dj" definition to use the full IP address, i.e.
Djlanka.ccit.arizona.edu
This way, you should get full path in the return address. It's basically
treating local addresses as full path all the way until in S0 where it
will convert it to local. Hope it helps.
