Hello!

sendmail 4th edition says:

In rules, when sendmail expands a macro, it also tokenizes it. For
example, placing the earlier $D in the following rule=E2=80=99s LHS:
R$+ @ $D	$1
causes the LHS to contain seven tokens rather than three:
R$+ @ xxx . yyy . zzz	$1

What exactly is a token and how is it delimited?

--=20
kind regards
Marco
