Hey, relax. You should have seen *me* when I started with sendmail... if it
hadn't been so pathetic (or if it hadn't been me), it'd have been funny. :)
As long as you put forth your effort and time, you'll find that people are
always willing to help you.
Sorry to take so long to answer this message, by the way; I just didn't see
it go by.

Forget editing the .cf; use the .mc only. I don't have a "stock" mc to send
you at the moment; does anyone here have one for Moke? Then again, if this
server is very low priority, then simply get the latest sendmail,
sendmail-cf, and sendmail-doc RPM's from Red Hat and do a "rpm -Uvh" for
all of them on the same line. Then you'll find a sendmail.mc in /etc/mail,
which is now where sendmail config files live.

No, sorry. But see above for how to get one easily and quickly.

Two tricks:
1. Put this in your .bashrc; use the full path since you could call this
command from anywhere:
alias makeaccess='makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access'
2. Even better, go to the /etc/mail directory and type "make". The access,
virtusertable, and other files will be rebuilt automatically. You must be
in that directory.
