[foxboro] sendmail and Exchange 2000 SMTP?

Just an FYI to the list:

Our SMTP mail server just got upgraded and stopped accepting email
from our Foxboro Sun boxes.  I think we are now using a version of
Exchange 2000 and it does not like hostnames that end with a trailing
'.'  The default sendmail config file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf has:

# my official hostname
Dj$w.$m

and apparently $m is the domain and it is blank.  To fix the problem
I just modified the line to remove the '.$m' and everything seems to work
now.
