Let me guess. Sendmail was denying relaying, but you were sure that
your sendmail.cw file had a few entries in it for your local machine,
so you checked it and restarted sendmail and it still didn't work then
you looked at the date of the sendmail.cf and then noticed the
"rebuilt by linuxconf" line at the top then realised that linuxconf
puts the functionality of sendmail.cw IN THE SENDMAIL.CF FILE!!!!!!!!!

ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

How annoying. It breaks sendmail (if linuxconf isn't set properly), and
breaks sendmail-cf (not sendmail.cf).

Cheers

Alex!
