	If it is correct why I have problem with sending email from some my
UUCP clients to other world?
	For example: 

<smtp aif.ru vica@aif.ru 65534>: ...\
        <<- MAIL From:<uprprg.ufps.lipetsk.su!root@uprprg> BODY=8BITMIME
SIZE=2604
        ->> 501 <uprprg.ufps.lipetsk.su!root@uprprg>... invalid host
name uprprg, check your configuration. (this is abnormal, investigate!)

	The address `uprprg.ufps.lipetsk.su!root@uprprg' appearance here in
this form after canonicalize() function.  Initially, in "envelope from"
this address look like `uprprg!uprprg.ufps.lipetsk.su!root'.

	Now I add next sift "$address" entry in canonicalize function:

([^!.])!(.+)    canonicalize "\2"; return ;;
([^!]+)!(.+)    focus "\2<@\1>" ; return ;;


	It's may be incorrect in some cases but work properly now.
