Socketmap support is present in sendmail-8.13 *sources*. Your sendmail 
binaries may be compiled without socketmap support.

1) Use the command below to check if your sendmail binary is compiled with 
socketmap support
	sendmail -d0.1 -bt </dev/null
Check if SOCKETMAP is listed in "Compiled with:" section

2) To compile sendmail with socket map support add the following line in 
devtools/Site/site.config.m4 :
	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF',`-DSOCKETMAP')dnl
and recompile sendmail sources as describes in INSTALL file.

FEATURE(`mrs') is not a part of sendmail.org distribution.
It is described at http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/mrs.html

Its installation requires:
1) patching cf/m4/proto.m4 file used to generate *.cf file from *.mc file
2) adding mrs.m4 file to cf/feature/ directory
[It does not require sendmail sources recompilation]
