That's right.  Now do a "make restart".

Try:

	echo "3,0 postmaster at lorax.forestry.umn.edu" | sendmail -bt

...and see whether it gets rewritten to "neighborsunited.net".

Yes, you should see a like like:

#####  $Id: masquerade_envelope.m4,v 8.9 1999/02/07 07:26:10 gshapiro Exp $  ###

...near the beginning of the .cf file, and lines like:

DMneighborsunited.net
