Here's two macros that cause a sendmail config build to fail with a usable error when a file or directory goes missing: dnl sanity checking macros define(`fatal_error', ` errprint(__line__`: fatal error: $* ') m4exit(`1') ') define(`file_check', ` syscmd(`ls $1 >/dev/null ') ifelse(sysval, `0', `', `fatal_error(`file not found "$1" for $2')' ) ') file_check(QUEUE_DIR, `QUEUE_DIR') dnl end sanity Thanks, Patrick -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_SG.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_SG.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sendmail depends on: ii sendmail-base 8.14.3-5+lenny1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sendmail-bin 8.14.3-5+lenny1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sendmail-cf 8.14.3-5+lenny1 powerful, efficient, and scalable ii sensible-mda 8.14.3-5+lenny1 Mail Delivery Agent wrapper sendmail recommends no packages.
