If you send mail to the IP address of a machine, rather than its canonical name
or one of its CNAMEs, the rule for canonicalization is effectively a noop. In
other words, later tests against $*<@$j>$* will fail because the IP address
was not canonicalized.
The documentation in the Sendmail Installation and Operations Guide states that
it does canonicalize things such as IP addresses and provides an example with
one of the Berkeley hosts.
