>Number: 19790 >Category: bin >Synopsis: Cannot rebuild sendmail.cf without installing full source dist >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Jul 08 18:40:01 PDT 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Brett Glass >Release: All to date >Organization: >Environment: >Description: The "binaries only" and "kernel sources only" distribution packages provide a copy of Sendmail as well as the m4 macro processor, but are missing the feature macros which allow one to recompile sendmail.cf. This makes it difficult to turn on spam elimination and security features as well as important header rewriting features. The relevant files are in /usr/src/contrib/, which means that currently the only easy way to get them at install time is to install with full sources. This is likely to be a waste of disk space on a production mail server where no software development is done. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Recommended solution: Create a "cf" directory (in a place such as /usr/src/contrib/sendmail, /etc/mail, /usr/local/etc/mail, or /usr/local/etc/sendmail) where one can generate new sendmail.cf files in the usual fashion. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
