ruleset 16

[Adam Bentley]

There is a section of ruleset 16 that I can't seem to make appear when
I build our mailhub host....
the section is marked with appropriate comments around it....
this is ruleset 16 from an old sendmail.cf;
what have I done that has broken it and stopped it adding the indicated
section.

without, it, non-uk domains don't get routed correctly....

any thoughts ?
asap?
:-)
thanks.

# Ruleset 16 -- routing #
#############################

#
# This rule trys to find an "<address>host.network" triple for a given
# domain address. Given a domain address "u...@a.b.c.d", it calls the
# channel matcher with u...@a.b.c.d, and if nothing matched, it calls
# the channel matcher again, with "u%a.b...@b.c.d" and "u%a.b.c.d@c.d".
# If there's still no match, then the top level domain relaying is done
# e.g. "u%a.b.c.d@d" -> "u%a.b...@x.y.z" and the rule is retried.
