Lack of QueueDirectory usually means that sendmail.cf is an empty file or
badly wrong.

How to generate sendmail.cf from *.mc file is described at
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/intro.html

Thanks!  I've worked pretty much everything out (including building
sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail without errors), except my mail is still
not going to cyrus.  Notice the message below does not say "connecting to
cyrus".  My mail goes to /var/spool/mail instead.  I put a dummy message
into /var/spool/imap/d/user/dbrown and I can see the message in Outlook on a
workstation.  Now if I can only get incoming messages to go there!

I'd appreciate it if someone could check my configs and tell me where I went
wrong.  It must be something in these configs.  Simon said something about
using lmtp, but frankly I haven't a clue.  Please see below: test message,
imapd.conf, cyrusv2.mc, steps to create sendmail.cf.

Thanks in advance for any advice from the list! Please reply all.
