I'm trying to figure out how to build sendmail.cf from the m4 files. The instructions located in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README are a bit vague. Can someone give me the secret recipe for doing this? cd /etc/mail make make install :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The Makefile is in /etc/mail/Makefile, and watchig it in action will show users how to do those things they might be unaware of.

Re: Simple sendmail.cf question
You know, I consider your subject line an oxymoron. On Mar 18, 2007, at 6:01 PM, Bob Applegate wrote: I'm trying to figure out how to build sendmail.cf from the m4 files.

I've always hand-edited the sendmail.cf file, but doing the work with macros looks so much easier. I just need to find out how to properly do it. Look in /etc/mail. On my system there is a freebsd.mc and a submit.mc. There is also a Makefile. make cf will generate the .cf files from the .mc files using m4.

Re: Simple sendmail.cf question
Don't build them there. There are sample .mc files and a make file in /etc/mail. You will find one you can copy for your system, and make whatever customizations you need. There is also one for the submit.mc too. -Derek At 06:01 PM 3/18/2007, Bob Applegate wrote: I'm trying to figure out how to build sendmail.cf from the m4 files.
