1 - why do I need /etc/mail/secret ? Can't sendmail do anonymous lookup
if permitted by acl?
2 - '-M simple' literally? I'm not sure what this is about.
3 - I have two domains.
a - Can I omit MASQUERADE_AS?
b - Can I (or should I) have two LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN?
LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN(mydomain2.com)dnl ?
LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN(mydomain1.com)dnl ?

OK - I need to use mailLocalAddress for resolve of local emails - not
mail not rfc822Mailbox and irrespective of local DNS, put fqdn of
mailHost in (in case this is matched at pending LDAP slave server) and
can leave mailRoutingAddress blank. Since all mail is to stay on this
machine.

I'm quite sure it did - /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README is clumsy and I
still haven't located define(`confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC'... in it yet. I was
working from the LDAP Book by O'Reilly and is most assuredly is
different.
