In the sendmail.cf that I'm using (version 25-eef from ucb) the local
responsible host is recursively removed in ruleset 0 so the mailer is
correctly resolved.  However, this is not done in rulesets 1, 2, S, R,
or 4.  Consequently, I sometimes get mail that is delivered locally to
`user', but the `To:' line says `localhost!localhost.domain!user'.  Is
there some policy against cleaning up these addresses?  I added a couple
of rules to rulsets 1 and 2 to catch common cases and the addresses look
better now.  Is there a better place?  Can these rulesets also call
themselves recursively?
