Greg:
I am not sure how to do it using linuxconfig but here is another way. First
backup your current sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf file just incase. I am
always paranoid in making changes on my mailer as it handles 400 users and I
have to have something to fall back on. Open up a terminal and su to root
and cd /etc so you can see your changes. After you have made your changes to
the sendmail.mc file type this at the command prompt:
m4 /etc/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
This will create the new sendmail.cf file with the added features. Now stop
mail with /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop. May have to stop it several times
if you have more instances of sendmail running, ie multiple users using
sendmail. When the response for /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop says fail
then start send mail with /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start. Your changes will
now using the new sendmail.cf. I am an old RH 4.2 user and prefer running
without x windows and in a mail server, domain server, httpd server
envirement for an ISP I would think it is best. I always have X available to
me by typing startx at the prompt but I just usually use it for network
changes as the network configuator seems easier to navigate via x windows.
Hope this helps,
