Looks like you missed the TABS in your .mc file.  I have lots of LOCAL RULES
in my .mc for different purposes...POP-First authentication, Sobig
(defunct), et al.

This should be in the .mc file?? I get all sorts of errors if I put these
three lines in there:

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1818: invalid rewrite line "RTEMP #error @ 5.7.1
: "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. Cannot resolve PTR record for "&'"
Please have your system administrator correct the zone entries."" (tab
expected)
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1819: invalid rewrite line "RFORGED #error @
5.7.1 : "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. IP name possibly forged " &("
Please have your system administrator correct the zone entries."" (tab
expected)
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1820: invalid rewrite line "RFAIL #error @ 5.7.1
: "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. Hostname lookup failed for " &("
please have your system administrator correct the zone entries."" (tab
expected)

I would have expected something more along the lines of "FEATURE
(`somefeature')dnl" for the mc file. Am I totally misunderstanding here?
