Think we're talking at cross purposes. Below is a script listing showing
the creation of 2 configs - test1 and test2. They are identical except
for the order of the domain declarations in the config file. You'll
see that there are indeed differences between the resultant sendmail
configuration files but these diffences do not affect the order of
domain resolution. In both, "computervision" still resolves to
computervision.co.uk

Here's the script listing...
