As I thought, rules are working, I mean address test mode works,
ruleset 0 gives the correct result (deliver locally).
Verify mode works ok.
Sendmail delivers locally mails sent to user@BETA from ALFA (i.e.
delivers them to user@ALFA),
but :
it doesn't deliver e-mail sent from outside (from any other host)
to user@BETA.
It's waiting for the host BETA to come up, having e-mails in the queue
mailq writes:
              (Deferred: Operation timed out during initial connection with)
			<BETA>
Any idea ?

: Try both.  Verify mode is the ultimate proof, though.
