As entities with some intelligence, we can see that cbosgd!cbosgd.ATT.UUCP!db
lists the same machine twice.  However, I have not yet seen a sendmail.cf
file which could determine this "fact".  Several configuration files already
assume that the second level domain is the site name, and thus try to send
mail to the ATT machine.  This is a problem with naming, not operator
precedence.  The recently posted uk.cf stuff handles domain names (I think,
I haven't installed it yet, due to a problem with operator precedence and
some missing connectivity information in my setup files).
