Thanks for the swift reply! I looked at Sendmails' source code. Here's the snippet which produces the output from my first email. It's taken from the file sendmail/domain.c: sm_dprintf("dns_getcanonname: trying %s.%s (%s)\n", host, *dp, # if NETINET6 qtype == T_AAAA ? "AAAA" : # endif /* NETINET6 */ qtype == T_A ? "A" : qtype == T_MX ? "MX" : "???"); errno = 0; ret = res_querydomain(host, *dp, C_IN, qtype, answer.qb2, sizeof(answer.qb2)); As you can see, it first prints the host to be looked up, and then passes the string unaltered to res_querydomain. I will create a source release, so it can be tested.
