Sigh. I am still trying to get Sendmail 5.65b/IDA working as a
DECnet/Internet mail gateway. Here is the setup:

	MicroVAX-II running Ultrix 4.1 and sendmail5.65b/IDA1.4.3, called
	"ulowell", DECnet node name "DGATE".

	MicroVAX-II running VMS 5.4-1, called condor.

	Domain is ulowell.edu.

condor is listed in the DECnet nodes database. I also have this entry in a
mailertable database:

Dmail:%s        .DNET

And this entry in a domaintable database:

condor.dnet.ulowell.edu         condor.dnet

All mail to condor.dnet.ulowell.edu is forwarded via MX record to ulowell.

When run in address test mode, with "user@condor.dnet", it seems to work
fine, with Ruleset 26 reporting the use of Dmail. However, given the
fully-qualified name of "user@condor.dnet.ulowell.edu", Ruleset 8 strips the
".dnet.ulowell.edu" off the end, apparently when it uses the resolver to
fully qualify the address. As a temporary hack, I modified the configuration
to look in domaintable first, it tested properly, but still does not
deliver the mail in reality.

Any ideas?
