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.
