I am trying to get sendmail to resolve mx addresses properly.  Currently, I 
cannot get it to resolve addresses behind a domain gateway.

For example, I want to send mail to foo.bigco.com.  nslookup will find
bigco.com, but not foo.bigco.com (unless I set querytype=mx).

Apparently, sendmail is *not* doing this, but merrily tries to deliver mail to
foo.bigco.com, which fails and ends up in my mailbox.

I understand that there is a sendmail.mx version of sendmail that might help
me, or perhaps some way to specify in the .cf file.  True?
