You can, but it's all read at startup, so doing this just confuses
things, ie.
Djmy.real.name
......
Djmy.pretend.name
......
Djmy.real.name
The `j' that sendmail itself figures out is only applicable up until
the first `Dj'.
I reckon it's best to either hard-code it or use a completely
different variable name:
D{vj}my.virtual.host
......
"by ${vj} ($v/$Z)"
