- In standard sendmail, 'Cw' only works for single tokens. It does not
- work for multi-token names.

- Somewhere in ruleset 0 you will probably need an explicit rule to send
- this mail to the local mailer. Something like

-
- although you might want something to also strip routing through
- this host name.
