Apologies if you have seen likes of this message on the unix-nrs list a few
days back.
 
I am using Ida sendmail and  uk sendmail 2.1 configutaion scripts.  I
quite like to put all the NRS domain table info in ida (dbm) format.
However I cant seem to convince the cnrs program to generate a list of
all nrs sites in mail context.
 
In non ida option of sendmail 2.1 only domains down to 3 level are
required i.e.
 
	uk.ac.exeter
	uk.ac.man
 
	etc
 
If you then send a mail to uk.ac.man.cs then that will work correctly.
However, if I select the ida option with the same table then uk.ac.man
will work but uk.ac.man.cs will not since it appears that with ida
option the rules look for explicit entry in the domain tables.
 
Piete Brooks and I have talked about it and we would like someone with
the knowledge of how the ida option in sendmail 2.1 works to tell us
more.  Can the output procuded by the current cnrs (3.6) be used as
input to domain tables for sendmail 2.1 with ida option?
