If you're using the ports version of sendmail, a handy tip is to add
this to /etc/make.conf:
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR= /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf
MAKEMAP= /usr/local/sbin/makemap
so you use a version of the sendmail M4 config bits that matches the
sendmail binary you're running, and you can use /etc/mail/Makefile to
generate and install the configs exactly as if you were using the base
system sendmail.
Cheers,
Matthew
