I know. But why (I know, I should USTSL) is it needed? One would (from
de name of FEATURE(nodns)) expect that this was sufficient. If I 
consult O'Reilly's sendmail the description of FEATURE(nocanonify)
is not very extensive (IMHO).

But FEATURE(nocanonify) really helps. I'm currently building a weird 
config with 5 Sun Sparcs and a FreeBSD gateway machine in which I use
this setup.
