Alvin, Thank you for this response. First problem is: I do not have an /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file (I do have a local-host-names file with no extension); and I do not have an /etc/mail/access file or an /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file
For these I think the problem is as is stated in the mail just previous to this: sendmailconfig cannot find /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/.m4 because it isn't there. I checked out the site you recommended this morning, and read a few things, but it seems more directed towards securing a running system than getting a system running to begin with...or did I miss a link? Best Wishes!
