Just figured out the confusion... and we were BOTH correct, David.

Yes, the F directives are read at startup... and... no restart is needed.
One only needs to send a "kill -1" to the PID of the parent sendmail
process.  This forces a re-read of the flat-files, without the need to
restart sendmail.

Are you sure?  I believe Sendmail only reads F directives once, at
startup.
