Good heavens! A drop of market share! The share holders would surely
fire me :-)

So the question is what should we use instead of define so that the
macros are added instead of removing. It seems that
define(`foo', foo`bar') happily append bar to foo definition. 

Any m4 user for testing what happens with things like this:
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT`j,
{if_addr}')

What happens if if_addr or j was already defined? It will end up
duplicated in sendmail.cf, does sendmail actually cope with that?

Maybe a m4 hacker in the room knows how to avoid the duplicates?

No problem, that's how I understand it. Raising the issue is the best
way of getting it fixed (and I'm just a bit unhappy that Anthony Howe
never drop me an e-mail to tell me about the issue).
