Sorry! I thought that, since ckuser is not part of sendmail or
cyrusimap, but is in the sendmail port, this would possibly be a good
place. Where should I post instead?

This I've already done.

Did this too; first time I restarted sendmail, I read:

sm-mta: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): No local mailer defined
sm-mta: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set

I checked everything again and restarted; now I get no errors, but the 
above line does nothing; everything still works as before with incoming 
mail accepted and forwarded to the primary MX, then bounced back.

This is my case.

I'll try this, if I can't get the above to work.

  bye & Thanks
