Oops.  I forgot how this causes another bug.  When our YP domain was
SAE1, the above rule was completely useless, so we had to add an
explicit rule to ruleset 0 to handle our local domain.  That is,
we added the last two lines in this set, since the first was never
effective:

 # deliver local items -- handles known and unknown hosts in our domain
 R$*<@$%y.LOCAL>$*	$#ether $@$2 $:$1<@$2>$3	user@host.sun.com
 R$*<@$%y.$m>$*		$#ether $@$2 $:$1<@$2>$3	user@host.sun.com
 R$*<@$*.$m>$*		$#local $:$1			user@badhost.sun.com
 R$*<@$m>$*		$#local $:$1			user@sun.com

Also, for local subdomains, we had lines like:

 # Deliver to our subdomains
 R$*<@$*.westsci.Solbourne.COM>$*	$#$M    $@westsci $:$1<@$2.westsci.solbourne.COM>$3
 R$*<@westsci.Solbourne.COM>$*		$#$M    $@westsci $:$1<@westsci.Solbourne.COM>$2

These were broken by the change of our YP domain (to +Solbourne.COM),
since addresses ending in westsci.Solbourne.COM now get changed to
westsci.LOCAL.
