Use:

Thanks Paul. Another question. Can submit.cf be identical to sendmail.cf?
It certainly shouldn't be because they're for two different things.
submit.cf is used only for processing mail generated locally (which is
stored in /var/spool/clientmqueue) and only delivers it to the local MTA.
sendmail.cf is the general configuration file for the MTA itself, which
uses /var/spool/mqueue to queue mails.
The use of two separate queues means that sendmail doesn't have to be
installed setuid root; writing to /var/spool/clientmqueue is done using
a setgid (to smmsp) sendmail program, and the main MTA just runs as root
so that it can deliver mail to all users.
