	There is a basic misunderstanding here. Redefining $w (with a Dw
	line) has absolutely no effect of $=w, which must be handled with
	a Cw (or Fw) line.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The point is that $=w doesn't work
if $w is a multi-token item like a fully qualified name.
In that case you can't use the construction Cw$w either.

	My personal preference, is to do the MX comparison with $j instead
	of $w.
That makes sense. And the manual is clear both about the
meaning of $j and about the fact that it MUST be defined.

	This is a trivial patch in deliver.c and is already in the IDA versions
	of sendmail-5.64+IDA available at uxc.cso.uiuc.edu.
True. But to have it take permanent effect it Berkeley
should make it part of the official distribution.
