Its too long a story to desrcibe why there is a number in the rule below
(actually, its a DECnet number), but I need to rewrite  user@6164 to
"machine1::user"@machine2.  I used the following rule, with the " escaped
because sendmail.cf needs them to be.

R$+@6164	\"machine1::$1\"@machine2

This gives me "machine1::user "@machine2
                             ^-- here is the problem

I'm using 5.61 with the IDA enhancements.  The above is a problem, because
the form with the extra space is not in my database, so the users from
line doesn't get rewritten.

Surely this space shouldn't be there?  Does anyone know how I can get
rid of it?  Thanx for any responses.
