How to generate new sendmail.cf file

[Mark Haney]

I'm stumped, I've read the FAQs and the sendmail site, but I'm getting 
nowhere.  Exactly how do I generate a new sendmail.cf file in Fedora? 
I've read tons on using the /cf/cf directory for m4, but that's not to 
be found on my FC6 server.  What gives?

Try "make -C ." from the directory in which you have the .mc file.

And you need to have the sendmail-cf package installed.  Use yum to
check that you have.  Details are on my webpage here:

If you have the sendmail-cf package installed it should happen by itself 
if sendmail.mc is newer than sendmail.cf and you:
service sendmail restart

The Makefile in the /etc/mail directory handles the grunge work.

Be sure you have the sendmail-cf package installed.
Run "make -C /etc/mail" to regenerate the .cf files or other .db maps. 
"service sendmail restart" will do this too, automatically.

Yep that did it.  Unfortunately, the cf file I generated didn't work. 
Thank goodness for backups.  Has anyone setup the mm-handler for mailman 
in sendmail?  That's ultimately what I"m trying to do.
