sendmail config file question

[Ron Stanonik]

A sendmail class is a set of tokens delimited by the operators
(macro o), which includes ".".  After removing "." from the
operators we still had problems because sendmail could not bear
to let two ATMs get by without a "." between them.  So, we also
modified parseaddr.c

no longer insert a SpaceSub "." between tokens if both are ATMs.
now if "." is not a delimiter, $w.$D becomes nprdc.arpa,
rather than nprdc..arpa.

- 			*p++ = SpaceSub;
  		(void) strcpy(p, *pvp);
  		oatomtok = natomtok;
  		p += i;

We also had the problem of silently disappearing mail.  For
us it turned out to be a sendmail bug which causes smtp senders
to be dropped from the recipient list.

fix alias expansion/lost mail problems for mail from smtp.
now smtp recipients are treated the same as sendmail arguments;
ie, flagged QPRIMARY.
