When looking at a standard sendmail.cf file in common use, a number of
questions occur to me.  I assume that the answers are "historical",
but I don't seem to know the history.  Can someone answer the following
for me:

Why does the delimiter macro ( Do.:%@!^=/[] ) NOT include comma, left
angle bracket, or right angle bracket?

What address formats use = or / for anything? (Since I don't see rules
that use them.)
