Hi LIH,
I am terribly confused...
I want to install sendmail 8.11.3
I downloaded the sendmail 8.11.3 in a dir
cd /home/lalit
[lalit@neeraj lalit]$ ls
core nsmail qpopper3.1 sendmail.8.11.3.tar
dead.letter openssl-0.9.6 qpopper3.1.tar sh
mail openssl-0.9.6.tar sendmail-8.11.3
I untared it and expanded it as sendmail-8.11.3
[lalit@neeraj sendmail-8.11.3]$ ls
Build PGPKEYS doc mailstats smrsh
FAQ README include makemap test
INSTALL RELEASE_NOTES libmilter obj.Linux.2.2.5-15.i586 vacation
KNOWNBUGS cf libsmdb praliases
LICENSE contrib libsmutil rmail
Makefile devtools mail.local sendmail
I stopped the earlier sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
i went to su
[lalit@neeraj sendmail-8.11.3]#./Build
[lalit@neeraj sendmail-8.11.3]# ./Build install
How do i proceed further ...
/*read me file says :4. Change to the cf/cf/ directory (that's not a typo):
Copy whichever .mc
file best matches your environment to config.mc, where config can be any
name. */what does this mean ????
My cf/cf dir contents are
[lalit@neeraj sendmail-8.11.3]$ cd cf
[lalit@neeraj cf]$ cd cf
[lalit@neeraj cf]$ ls
Build generic-bsd4.4.cf generic-osf1.mc mailspool.cs.mc
Makefile generic-bsd4.4.mc generic-solaris2.cf python.cs.mc
chez.cs.mc generic-hpux10.cf generic-solaris2.mc s2k-osf1.mc
clientproto.mc generic-hpux10.mc generic-sunos4.1.cf s2k-ultrix4.mc
cs-hpux10.mc generic-hpux9.cf generic-sunos4.1.mc tcpproto.mc

cs-ultrix4.mc generic-nextstep3.3.mc mail.cs.mc
cyrusproto.mc generic-osf1.cf mail.eecs.mc
and what is this m4 I am totally confused ????
