Unfortunately, this may not be the case.  The sendmails here at gatech for
example (whose .cf files are in the mod.sources archives), will take an
address of the form site1!...!arpa-gateway!site.arpa!someone and turn
it into someone@site.arpa and then try and route it using local routing
tables.  If the route given by the table doesn't work, you're out
of luck.
