Sendmail Upgrade/relay Question
Hello, I just upgraded sendmail on my test mailserver from a very old 8.11.6 to 8.13.0. The upgrade finally went ok after a few problems but now I cannot relay. I have the IP of my machine in /etc/mail/access (just as it was before) but in the maillog it says that relaying is denied for this IP. I have double checked that my IP didn't change and I also did the makemap hash /etc/mail/access /etc/mail/access to make sure that my db was up to date. I can't figure out what the problem might be. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Rob. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Sendmail upgrade advice
Hi, Thanks for the advice. Although convoluted, I had managed to read through some of the documentation and tried to perform the first steps of the install (as you kindly described below). However, the install failed on the first step of sh Build in the sendmail directory. This is why I was asking for help because of this error I received at sh Build. build: Can't open build: No such file or directory %sh Build Configuration: pfx=, os=FreeBSD, rel=4.4-RELEASE, rbase=4, rroot=4.4-RELEASE, arch=i386, sfx=, variant=optimized Using M4=/usr/bin/m4 Creating /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/obj.FreeBSD.4.4-RELEASE.i386/sendmail using /usr/home/rob/sendmail-8.13.0/devtools/OS/FreeBSD sed: 1: s/ //g : unterminated substitute pattern sed: 1: s/ //g : unterminated substitute pattern ERROR: /usr/bin/m4 failed; You may need a newer version of M4, at least as new as System V or GNU It was also suggested that I build my own ports tree but I don't really have the disk space for that. Is it possible to build a ports tree with just one port perhaps? If so, how do I go about doing that?

RE: Sendmail upgrade advice
Actually, I don't have access to the ports tree. This is a server owner by the ISP and they told me I need to do my own upgrades. It is one of those virtual servers where I have root access to my own little virtual area, however I can't make any updates to the ports tree. So, it looks like a manual upgrade is needed but I'm just running round in circles. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Sendmail upgrade advice
hope this helps
im going to use 8.12.10 as an examplei think the instructions are
referring to this: when you unpack sendmail-8.x.x it makes a dir called
sendmail.8.x.x (whatever the version name)
cd into that dir. theres a INSTALL file that pretty much says everthign i
said herebut oh well...who reads instructions anyway
you will also see a dir oddly enough called sendmail cd into that
that is where you run the
sh Build
then it wants you to go to the cf/cf dir todo so do:
cd ../cf/cf
then copy the .mc file that matches your environment. do this:
cp generic-bsd4.4.mc sendmail.mc
edit the sendmail.mc file you just copied adding whatever options you
want...i use the following
--SNIP
FEATURE(nouucp, reject)
FEATURE(local_procmail)
FEATURE(access_db, `hash -TTMPF /etc/mail/access')
FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash /etc/mail/virtusertable')
FEATURE(blacklist_recipients)
FEATURE(use_cw_file)
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', BLACKLISTED - see
http://ORDB.org/lookup/?host=${client_addr};)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', SPAM BLOCKED - see
http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblockip=${client_addr};)dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org', `571 ACCESS DENIED to $f thru
${client_name} by /spamhaus/ ; Please see
http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/;')dnl
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `list.dsbl.org', `571 ACCESS DENIED to $f thru
${client_name} by /dsbl/ ; Please see
http://dsbl.org/listing.php?ip=${client_addr}
')dnl
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `whatever.domain')dnl
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `goaway,authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy')
SNIP---
just a note about the above snippet...i use RBL checks also above that i
have enabled virtusertable access procmail for a local mailer.
1.virtusertable allows you to have virtual users for domain hosting
envronments make sure /etc/mail/virtusertable exists
2. access is used to help limit allow or deny certain users or IPs or
domains...for spam or abuse purpuses make sure /etc/mail/access exists
as well as /etc/mail/relay_domains if it doesnt already
3. i use procmail as my local mailer also to help with spam filtering
theres alot of procmail recipies you can find on the net.
ANYHWO---
make sure each FEATURE define is on a line by itself
then save and then run
sh Build sendmail.cf
make backups of your current sendmail configs in /etc/mail ( if ya want )
then do:
sh Build install-cf
then go back to the sendmail dir by doing
cd ../../sendmail
then run:
sh Build install
thats it ...your done ...upgraded sendmail :-)

I also see that the instructions tell me to create any necessary site
configuration build files, as noted in devtools/Site/README. Well this
particular Readme tells me nothing on how to perform these file
creations.
I have read through all the readme and install files and just can't seem
to get any further.
Any help really appreciated. I am upgrading from 8.11.6.

hello rob,
would sendmail 8.12.11 be enough to satisfy your upgrading needs? if so,
no need to hassle with a manual build, because you'll find it in the ports
tree.
