The error message wasn't complaining about the mailer definition,
it was complaining about one of the other lines.
Try:
grep -n ocal /etc/sendmail.cf
and carefully examine each line. You'll find one where the word
"local" was truncated to "ocal". Note the line number supplied by
grep, and when you edit the file to fix the line, you'll most likely find
it's in the last half of ruleset S0.
