Good tip, thanks.  Let me see what you think.

Starting around line 129 in /etc/mail/cf/README

  These describe the mailers used at the default CS site.  The local
  mailer is always included automatically.  Beware: MAILER declarations
  should only be followed by LOCAL_* sections.  The general rules are
  that the order should be:
  
     VERSIONID
     OSTYPE
     DOMAIN
     FEATURE
     local macro definitions
     MAILER
     LOCAL_CONFIG
     LOCAL_RULE_*
     LOCAL_RULESETS
  
The line in sendmail.mc  about RELAY_MAILER_ARGS looks like it might
need to be under the actual smarthost definition.  But as I recall I
moved it on top from below at some point thinking it might help... but
lets find out....

Nope... didn't make any difference.

grep messagingengine  sendmail.cf

Still didn't make the cut.

Do you see other issues of order that might be a problem?
