If I use
csv2["*.ucmerced.edu."] = "star.ucmerced.edu.csv2"
I get an error for WKS queries to matching domains.
$ host -t wks eecs.ucmerced.edu engdns00.ucmerced.edu
eecs.ucmerced.edu WKS record query refused by engdns00.ucmerced.edu
Nov 18 02:48:24 engdns00 maradns.etc_maradns_mararc: Query from: 207.42.123.4 Ueecs.ucmerced.edu.
Nov 18 02:48:24 engdns00 maradns.etc_maradns_mararc: Log: Bad query received: 9\027\001\000\000\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\004eecs\010ucmerced\003edu\000\000\013\000\001
If I add a record for just that domain
csv2["eecs.ucmerced.edu."] = "star.ucmerced.edu.csv2"
it works as expected.
$ host -t wks eecs.ucmerced.edu engdns00.ucmerced.edu
eecs.ucmerced.edu has no WKS record at engdns00.ucmerced.edu (Authoritative answer)
It seems that sendmail uses WKS queries so mail to my domains from such
systems has been failing due to DNS timeouts(?!).
