See here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/feature/greet_pause.m4 I judge from that you need at minimum FreeBSD 4.11 in order to have the greet_pause feature in the base sendmail.

Re: Sendmail greet_pause config
Thanks all. My problem is now fixed by using /usr/local/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4. Sendmail has been upgraded since default install through port.

Although you can simply build sendmail from the sources directly on FreeBSD just fine, instead, if you're having problems getting ports to work on such an old version of FreeBSD. You might want to build out a 6.2 system instead... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You should update to FreeBSD 4.11 or later, which will give you a newer sendmail in the base system, which will probably fix the /etc/mail make magic which builds config files.

Otherwise about the only valid conclusion we can come to is "yes, you did something wrong." For reference, if you insert the following into your .mc file you should get a 5s greeting pause: FEATURE(greet_pause, `5000')dnl ## 5 seconds Note the quotes around `5000' -- the left hand quote is not like the right hand one. That's something that often catches out people unused to the ways of m4(1). You should have a /usr/share/sendmail/cf/feature/greet_pause.m4 file if your version of sendmail supports this feature. It works for me just using the system sendmail on RELENG_6. I think the sendmail that comes with 4.7 is too old. You'ld be well advised to upgrade -- at least to 4.11-RELEASE-p25, but preferably 6.2-RELEASE due out Real Soon Now.
