Hi,

The "## Custom configurations" section in the sendmail.mc file
that is generated by "sendmailconfig is in the wrong place.  This
is because it is located _after_ the mailer definitions.

When I try putting my edited additions into the sendmail.mc after
the "## Custom configurations", I get an error message to the
effect that FEATURE must come before mailer definitions.

Here is a listing of my additions,

I tried using the "LOCAL_CONFIG" macro just prior to each of my
additions (when I put them at the indicated location), but I still
got the same error message when the sendmail.cf was generated.

Thanks,
