I have been experimenting with using generic names (ie names sent from
say "khalid" will appear as "K.Sattar") using ida sendmail.
I have had a look in the ida sendmail kit to see how its done and then
been testing by putting something that will will work with
sendmail-2.1 scripts.

I choose rule set 4 to do the mapping of realname to generic names is
this the right place?

Given that we strip off local domain so that local delivery is only
with usernames will something as simple as (the rule marked with * is
my addition) suffice or do I need someting more complex

  OKX/u3/misc/admin/tmp/G
	:
	:
  S4
  R<$+>			$:$1			remove brackets from $u addr
  R$+@$+		$@$1@$2			already ok
* R$+			$: $(X $1 $: $1 $)	lookup generic name

  #  this ensures that $u has at least one '@' in (if percent style)
  R$+%$+		$1@$2			convert '%'s to '@'s
  R$+@$+@$+		$1%$2@$3		then reduce to only one '@'


Any other suggestions or experiences with generic names will be useful

Thanks
