You're making my point for me. If you put the users in /etc/mail/sendmail.ct,
you'll have to restart sendmail to get it to reread the file. If you put
them in genericstable.db(m), then it will work automatically.
Also, trusted users do get more than just the lack of warning message.
Genericstable solves the real problem.
