Hi again,

Thanks for your response.

Here is my sendmail.mc file following. 

I haven’t done any changes to sendmail.cf.

I´m a bit confused about the cyrusv4.m4 file, can you maybe explain where it
comes into the picture (I´m a real newbie on this, sorry if I look stupid
;).

Well, here is the sendmail.mc file:

dnl # This is the sendmail macro config file for m4. If you make changes to
dnl # /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, you will need to regenerate the
