This may not be the solution, but have a look at the "Dj" line in /etc/sendmail.cf and see if that will simply do what you want. > >Now all I have to do is recreate my /etc/sendmail.cf as per the FAQ >instructions (sections 8.18 and 8.19). According to these instructions once >I create my file foo.mc in the duirectory: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf, >I am then supposed to do a "make foo.mc". So m4 converts foo.mc to a foo.cf >(so as to later replace /etc/sendmail.cf). Now here lies the problem. I don't think thats the correct syntax - try: m4 /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 foo.mc > foo.cf Check the resulting foo.cf file and then copy it as sendmail.cf to /etc PS. It doesn't hurt to spend a litlle while at sendmail.org, especially at http://www.sendmail.org/m4/readme.html and check out the introduction and example.
