Still using $editor, although with sendmail v. 8.11+ most, if not all,
features are documented both ways. It's my understanding (from what I've
been reading)that the sendmail folks are doing this on purpose - a less
obfuscated sendmail.cf is a good thing.

While the first bit works, the second doesn't :

map_lookup: virtuser (bob at sonney.com) no match (0)
> /map virtuser @sonney.com
map_lookup: virtuser (@sonney.com) returns alchemist (0)

canonify           input: bob @ sonney . com

Canonify2        returns: bob < @ sonney . com . >

Hmm. I wonder if there's a ruleset that's been disturbed. That's where
I'll look next.

Any sendmail ruleset gurus out there?
