>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.
