problem sendmail with msgidruleset.m4 : *** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()

[jstarng]

I'm trying to set up sendmail with the msgidruleset.m4 so that all
inbound and outbound emails from the server are copied to an archiving
account.

i'm following the directions listed at:
http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/1999-10/features/archiving.html
or
http://www.geocities.com/sbmilbur/sendmail/email_archiving.html

i get all the way to the new sendmail.cf creation using:
 m4 ../m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/freebsd.mc > sendmail.cf

and it responds with an error:
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()

when i put the line: FEATURE(msgidruleset) before the MAILER() line,
it errors out with:
*** MAILER(smtp) must appear before copymail mailer')
I see that error's created from msgidruleset.m4 and so i assume it has
to appear after smtp for it to work and i cant just comment it out....


How do i get things to work, allowing me to put feature() after mailer().

here's a copy of my freebsd.mc file:
