Thus I was wondering if submit.mc should include the nocanonify
feature by default?

 I do not see a reason for that as most machines have access to DNS. A
default setting is something that fits general situations and not
corner cases.
 Most servers also check the recipient domains and reject stuff that
isn't an FQDN or unresolvable, so the default checks are sane.
 

Thanks Marco for you response.  I should perhaps of added that in
the site's scenario the mail was then stuck in the submit queue
and not forwarded to the MTA (sendmail.cf queue) which would have forwarded to the relay.
While I commonly see suggestions to make a change to sendmail.mc this is the first time I've had to suggest a site change submit.mc.  But I am a relatively new to sendmail configuration myself, so perhaps it is just my lack of experience.
Does that extra information make any difference?
Thanks again,
Stace
