Hi,
I have used the following configuration for sendmail with good results;
I would recommend mimicing it:
1. Move *all* the sendmail configuration files to /etc/mail. If
necessary, symlink /etc/sendmail.cf -> /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, but I
think this is a compile-time option for sendmail.
2. Put a Makefile in /etc/mail, looking something like this one (which I
use on a real system):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Sendmail configuration makefile for <host>
#
# These tables need a sendmail restart if changed
TABLES = virtusertable.db access.db domaintable.db mailertable.db
sendmail.cf
all: aliases.db sendmail.cf tables.date
tables.date: $(TABLES)
touch tables.date
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
aliases.db: aliases
newaliases
%.db : %
makemap hash $@ < $<
sendmail.cf : sendmail.mc
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
clean:
-rm -f *.db *~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That way, a simple "make" will rebuild whatever databases or config
files that are necessary, using whatever commands are appropriate, and
will restart sendmail if necessary.
Highly recommended.
Also, I would make sendmail.mc part of the sendmail-cf RPM; that way, if
sendmail-cf isn't installed, "make" won't try to rebuild sendmail.cf if
someone touches sendmail.mc.
