Hello, I have a little problem with sendmail. I installed sendmail a few days ago and setup it with the default values which are given when you run sendmailconfig. Everything worked fine, but a few days ago sendmail stopped working. And today I tried to reinstall it like I did it a few days ago. I have used all default values which sendmail suggested me. And now I´m getting this error:
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** FEATURE(smrsh) must occur before MAILER(local)
*** ERROR: MAILER(local) already included
*** ERROR: MAILER(smtp) already included```
My config files:
[sendmail.mc](http://pastebin.com/tNLGEezc)
[sendmail.conf](http://pastebin.com/tzGdnsHL)
I already got this error when I tried to install sendmail a few days ago but it worked anyway. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
It appears that you have 3 lines 109 110 11 that include FEATURE settings after the MAILER settings. This generally causes an error with sendmail.
Even with the auto generated scripts this can happen at times. I would suggest moving those 3 lines above any MAILER configs so all your FEATURE config lines are above any MAILER config lines.
Then regenerate your sendmail config with sendmailconfig to regenerate things.
