You must use makesendmail (in the sources directory) instead of make. It is worthy to read the latest CERT and correctly configure sendmail. It is not necesary tu use the default deamon, and you MUST install smrsh. I had some problems due to that in the past, and even now crackers love to read my mail and forward it all over ! Pedro.
