Mine's exactly the same, but I updated 5.3 to 6.0 rather than doing a
new install. Also I'm running sendmail 8.9.3, but all I did was to build
it, and copy the relevant files across from the build dir to their
existing counterparts on the installed system, and remake the config
file as above.
Is your m4 config file in /etc/mail called linux.mc? If not, that may be
why m4 falls over. You should at any rate have a file in that directory
with an .mc extension. back up your existing /etc/sendmail.cf file and
run m4 on the *.mc file to recreate it. i.e. if you have a file called
SuSE.mc, then try
m4 /usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/SuSE.mc >/etc/sendmail.cf
The docs I pointed you to describe the config options that can be
entered into your .mc file which will reconfigure sendmail accordingly
when you rebuild the sendmail.cf file and restart it.
