So my reading is that while 5321 tells me that it's OK to use a CNAME in MAIL
FROM/RCPT TO, 1123 still tells me that it's better to resolve those CNAMEs
first.

I hope that nobody who matters believes this, but if you look at the two
documents it's not a totally ridiculous way to reconcile them.

Sendmail still does RFC 1123 mail domain canonicalization unless you use
FEATURE(`nocanonify`)

http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/configuration_readme/

Qmail does it unconditionally (and uses DNS ANY queries in the process).
