Where does sendmail get the names which are set in Cw?

I have this machine, cc.rochester.edu.  Its real name is
"vera.cc.rochester.edu".  Since no standard macro or class includes the
alias, I have to kludge up my beautiful sendmail.cf to handle this.

It's also very annoying that you can't use fully qualified names in a
class, such as

CW$w cc.rochester.edu

or something like that, because the dots in the name screw up the class
definition.

The IDA 1.2.8 sendmail enhancements allow you to use elements of classes
as sequences of tokens, i.e.
	foo.bar.edu
will match its the correponding string in the input. My recommendation is to
grab IDA and use it with sendmail 5.61.
