- Did you restart the sendmail daemon? Sendmail reads the configuration
- file once when started. If the configuration file is changed, any
- daemon sendmail will need to be restarted. Typically, it is a daemon
- which listens on port 25 (started with "sendmail -bd"). In this case,
- I suspect that the daemon was still running with the old idea of the
- configuration.
