IDA tables require exact matches as you have already determined,
so for ida sendmail a complete list of mail entities can be produced.

The format of these tables are basically the same as other uk-sendmail tables
i.e. <LHS><space><RHS>. Domain tables use little-endian format and will
map short to long or long to short names as you wish; the
janet channel table uses big-endian format. The RHS is the host or application
relay to send this host's mail to.

I don't know whether the existing c-nrs can produce this - I suspect that
if it does not then people may have been producing mmdf tables and converting
the ":" field separator into a space. Anyone like to confirm/refute this?
