That's a good question. Usually, there is a README file in the "cf" subdirectory of the sendmail configuration (m4) sources that explains this for your platform. I don't know where this is on a debian system. Its in /usr/share/sendmail on FreeBSD. FreeBSD also has makefiles for everything and generating a new cf is as simple as typing make filename.cf, but I really don't know where debian puts theirs.
sendmail.org has some decent instructions on how to do this by hand, but it will still require locating a few bits and pieces on your debian system. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. You may also want to try the debian-users list for debian specific sendmail help. rgr On Mon, 1 Dec 2003 15:18:18 +0100, Patrik wrote > Richard, > > I have not generated a new /etc/mail/sendmail.cf > Im not that familiar with sendmail, how do i generate a new one? > > Thanks, > Patrik > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Richard G.
