	did you tell sendmail to re-read its configuration file
	(/etc/sendmail.cf) ???

	try "kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`"
	look in /var/log/maillog for lines similar to:

Jan  5 14:37:57 kryten sendmail[3227]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail on signal
Jan  5 14:37:58 kryten sendmail[7164]: starting daemon (8.8.7): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00

	if the lines to not appear, kill sendmail and restart it.
	(sendmail must be started with its full pathname, /usr/sbin/sendmail,
	 in order to respond to a HUP signal.
