hope this helps im going to use 8.12.10 as an example....i think the instructions are referring to this: when you unpack sendmail-8.x.x it makes a dir called sendmail.8.x.x (whatever the version name)
cd into that dir. theres a INSTALL file that pretty much says everthign i said here....but oh well...who reads instructions anyway you will also see a dir oddly enough called "sendmail" cd into that ....that is where you run the sh Build then it wants you to go to the cf/cf dir todo so do: cd ../cf/cf then copy the .mc file that matches your environment. do this: cp generic-bsd4.4.mc sendmail.mc edit the sendmail.mc file you just copied adding whatever options you want...i use the following ----------SNIP-------------------------------- FEATURE(nouucp, reject) FEATURE(local_procmail) FEATURE(access_db, `hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access') FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(use_cw_file) FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', "BLACKLISTED - see <http://ORDB.org/lookup/?host="$&{client_addr}"";)dnl FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', "SPAM BLOCKED - see <http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip="$&{client_addr}"";)dnl FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl.spamhaus.org', `"571 ACCESS DENIED to <"$&f"> thru "$&{client_name}" by /spamhaus/ ; Please see http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/";')dnl FEATURE(`dnsbl', `list.dsbl.org', `"571 ACCESS DENIED to <"$&f"> thru "$&{client_name}" by /dsbl/ ; Please see http://dsbl.org/listing.php?ip="$&{client_addr} ')dnl define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `whatever.domain')dnl define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `goaway,authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy') ------------SNIP--------------------------------------- just a note about the above snippet...i use RBL checks also above that i have enabled virtusertable & access & procmail for a local mailer. 1.virtusertable allows you to have virtual users for domain hosting envronments make sure /etc/mail/virtusertable exists 2. access is used to help limit allow or deny certain users or IPs or domains...for spam or abuse purpuses make sure /etc/mail/access exists as well as /etc/mail/relay_domains if it doesnt already 3. i use procmail as my local mailer also to help with spam filtering theres alot of procmail recipies you can find on the net. ANYHWO--- make sure each "FEATURE" & "define" is on a line by itself then save and then run sh Build sendmail.cf make backups of your current sendmail configs in /etc/mail ( if ya want ) then do: sh Build install-cf then go back to the "sendmail" dir by doing cd ../../sendmail then run: sh Build install thats it ...your done ...upgraded sendmail :-) -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207-247-8330 > On Fri, 9 Jul 2004 17:58:15 -0400 > "Rob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> I had some problems with Sendmail a few weeks ago and it was suggested >> that I upgrade.
