I tried to set in sendmail.mc file at the LAST line define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:unknownuser') dnl I did service sendmail restart and got an error on a completely different line.
as a thought I deleted that line and put it on line 2 of the sendmail.mc file. re-ran service sendmail restart and now it worked. I changed nothing else.
Is there something special about the placement of this command???
Thanks,
Jerry
There is nothing special with the LUSER_RELAY definition, but in general the order of the statements is important. Please see
http://www.sendmail.org/documentation/configurationReadme
The general rules are that the order should be:
VERSIONID OSTYPE DOMAIN FEATURE local macro definitions MAILER LOCAL_CONFIG LOCAL_RULE_* LOCAL_RULESETS
