Mike,

Exactly where in the code for the service command does it call the make
command??

I looked through that code and I see nowhere that it does anything other
than call the init script to manage the services.  And I KNOW that
/etc/init.d/sendmail does not call a make command itself.

Unless you can point to the exact portion of code that does this I will
continue to believe that I must do the "make -C /etc/sendmail" command
myself and will recommend to others that they do the same.
