Read the Makefile a bit closer... All you need to do is type: make install and the newly created .cf files will be renamed ready for use. Then type: make restart and sendmail will be restarted using your new files. > Should sendmail.cf be updated when running a new version of sendmail > to take advantage of new features?. Generally yes. Note that mergemaster will build new .cf files from your .mc files and prompt you to install them appropriately. Matthew PS. Does your `hostname' command really return 'jeff@jrpenn.demon.co.uk'? That's a bit weird. You might find changing that to just 'jrpenn.demon.co.uk' will increase your sanity quotient a bit. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
