Thanks for the explanation...

$ grep genericstable /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

I suppose the 'hash' is causing the trouble.

Well. Just wondering wether I went off trails with my config and it bit
me now, or wether I followed the guide's steps and it bit me... I cannot
check as I lost my .mc, sadly.. 

Some more info: If I follow the guide, copy the skeleton provided there,
I'm ending up with that:

$ m4 guide.mc > bla.cf
$ grep genericstable bla.cf

Just wondering ... won't it bite other guide-trustworthy ppl like me ? ...
Or is it sth different ?
