that's...

8(.1) - show dns resolver errors
10(.1) - show recipient by recipient delivery
11(.1) - trace mailer usage
13.10 - (redundant, given the next one) show envelope delivery information
13.29 - print a message when done
15(.1) - show smtp server socket information
18(.1) - show smtp replies
99.100 - don't drop into the background

all in all, a nice set, even if some of them don't completly apply to
this situation.

>(Note that the -d numbers are quite confusing and poorly documented.)

there's about 100 pages in the o'reilly sendmail book, which is agood
book to have.  i understand that not everyone feels like buying it.  :)

those are declarations for class P.  addresses that end in class P are
considered fully qualified and sendmail doesn't try to add on a domain
name to fully qualify it.

the REDIRECT stuff is indeed for sending 551 messages.  it's supposed
to be an easy way for you to tell people that someone has moved on.
you put an entry like:

	foo: bar@other.place.REDIRECT

and sendmail, when processing mail addresses to foo@whatever.com will
respond with "User has moved; please try <bar@other.place>".
