Hi there, I'm having problems sending mail to sites in the CA class of my
sendmail.cf file.... they come back Domain Unknown instead of being
sent out over janet.
eg
w...@uk.aea-technology fails although its NRS registered.

What have I done wrong. ?
Part of sendmail.cf included fyi,

| How is $o defined (the line beginning "Do").
|
| Specifically, if the character '-' is in your $o definition, most of
| the entries in your $=A class will be multi-token, and multi-token
| class matches don't work in standard sendmail versions.

sorry,
I should have been a bit more precise, no I don't have a '-' in my
$o defn. so that can't be it, but what I have noticed is that the other domains
in the CA class seem to come out ok, its just the aea-technology and a couple
of entires for the british-library that seem to fail.....

any further thoughts?
