I'd be likely to generate a .cf file (from a .mc file) on RHEL5 and compare it to the .cf from RH7.3. You should be able to find the major differences handled with simple .mc file changes. The tricky part would be if the "rules" have been edited on the RH7.3 file.

I was used to write sendmail.cf files "manually" since 1988 or so, sometimes even from scratch, but I'm sticking to using .mc files. If needed, there are still hooks to add some own rules. If your sendmail.cf files are *really* doing special things, you may try to use them in RHEL5. This should be doable, but you should for example check the "mailers" defined in sendmail.cf. -- -- Jos Vos <[email protected]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
