FriendlyGreeting is Expanding

[Remco Barendse]

Should or shouldn't that include LOCAL_RULESETS before the lines below
that you put in sendmail.mc (they can be put in sendmail.mc right, I
have never been able to figure out how the .cf files work)

Also where do I put it in sendmail.mc?

I just added at the bottom of the file, replaced the whitespaces with
tabs after the last few lines starting from  $* up until the $#error bit.
Then my mail server simply stopped accepting any mail whatsoever....

May I suggest a 'complete morons guide to stopping FriendlyGreeting cards'
for people like me? :)
