In order to use 4.50's sendmail with /etc/hosts as your host lookup service
(default or "host: files" in vis.conf), your host names must be fully
qualified domain names in the host file.  (This is not a Mips change.)

In 4.51, you may link /usr/lib/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail.nonamed and
*not* fully qualify your hostnames in /etc/hosts instead.
