But am starting to get the gist of it now. The easiest thing to is checkout the sendmail source from the FreeBSD source tree, drop into cf/cf, copy freebsd.mc to local.mc, make changes to local.mc as appropriate, then run `make' to build a new config file. Copy to /etc & kill -HUP sendmail to finish. I can do a checkout & tar.gz that up for you.
