I have version 5.61 of IDA sendmail that I have ported to our system and it
seemes to be working great except for one thing: It does not seem to match
any classes that have dots in them.  For example, given the following
definition of class w:

Cwamtfocus amt-gw amtfocus.cell.mot.com

And the rewriting rule:

R$*<$*$=w>$*	$1<$2>$4

"troym<@amt-gw>" will match the rule while "troym<@amtfocus.cell.mot.com>"
will not.  Is this the correct behavior or is it a bug in my port?
I tend to think it is a bug because sendmail on the Sun's that are used
by another group here will match the second case.

If it is a bug has anyone else run into this and can you point me to
a good place in the source to start looking for it?

Thanks
