sun4 8.4.20: sendmail.cf mishandles .LOCAL

System name:		x15-cruise-basselope.mit.edu

Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	Send mail to a particular PO server (jhawk@PO12.LOCAL).

What's wrong:
	The client rewrites this to jhawk@PO12.MIT.EDU and hands it
	off to MCS, and it gets handed to PO12, which bounces it
	with "Bobo with your canned meat?".

	The PO servers only accept mail to "user@poNN.LOCAL".

What should have happened:
	of course, this used to work just fine:

	It should have retained the envelope as jhawk@PO12.LOCAL; just
	like under 7.6:

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Perhaps if the athena sendmail.cf were maintained via a .mc
	file, it would be easier to correct these issues.
    
        Speak roughly to your little boy,
          And beat him when he sneezes:
        He only does it to annoy,
          Because he knows it teases.

        Speak roughly to your little VAX,
          And boot it when it crashes;
        It knows that one cannot relax
          Because the paging thrashes!

        Wow!  Wow!  Wow!

        I speak severely to my VAX,
          And boot it when it crashes;
        In spite of all my favorite hacks
          My jobs it always thrashes!

        Wow!  Wow!
