	Problem:
	   The address fails rule on the Apollo but hits on the Sun.

	Timestamp of sendmail:

	Thanks for the help!!!

Sun probably has some of the "IDA sendmail enhancements".  Without them
(i.e., your case) sendmail is only trying to match one token, and you
have more than one ("nap", ".", "amoco", ".", and "com").

IDA will match on these multi-token classes.  In your case, it would
match nap, then nap., then nap.amoco, then nap.amoco., etc.

You could instead do something like this:

CD trc hou nap

and

R$*<@$=Z.amoco.com>$*           $#ether $@$2.amoco.com $:$1<@$2.amoco.com>$3

or whatever.

To sum up, this is an instance of comparing IDA sendmail with the stock
version.
