ok,
I'll look at that readme.
And....
I nosed around on the box for clues about sendmail.cf
It looks like the previous sysadmin ignored
sendmail.cf
I see this:
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 14 $ pwd
/etc/mail
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 15 $
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 15 $
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 15 $ ls -latr

It looks like administrative activity was happening on
Aug 21 2006
I looked at motel411.sh...
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 16 $
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 16 $ cat motel411.sh
#! /bin/sh
cp freebsd.mc motel411.com.mc
/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 motel411.com.mc >

cp freebsd.submit.mc motel411.com.submit.mc
/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 motel411.com.submit.mc
> motel411.com.submit.cf
/usr/sbin/makemap hash virtusertable.db <
virtusertable
chmod 0640 virtusertable.db
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 17 $
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 17 $
bash jake oracle /etc/mail 17 $
I'll search google for info about these files:
freebsd.mc
freebsd.submit.mc
virtusertable
virtusertable.db
And I'll read that readme:
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/readme
