It will only be read at a restart of sendmail. So you may have to kill -HUP sendmail to make the change to sendmail.cw effective. sendmail configurations that are kept in external databases, like aliases, virtusertable, mailertable etc. are made effective by using the proper makemap command, resp. newaliases. These changes do not require a subsequent restart of sendmail. Michael
