or m4.
Take a look at your sendmail configuration files for what you can do
with m4.
This is the start of the file that generates sendmail.cf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]$ head -20 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
divert(-1)
dnl This is the sendmail macro config file. If you make changes to this
file,
dnl you need the sendmail-cf rpm installed and then have to generate a
dnl new /etc/sendmail.cf by running the following command:
dnl
dnl m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`linux setup for Red Hat Linux')dnl
OSTYPE(`linux')
define(`confDEF_USER_ID',``8:12'')dnl
undefine(`UUCP_RELAY')dnl
