i know that is completly the wrong format. Any one know how i can fix this?

the command i ran to make the cf was 'm4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

i ran a which m4 -a and it says /usr/bin/m4
so i only have one version of m4 on the machine. It is sendmail version 8.12.9 which was compiled from source. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi

did you make any changes to the basic sendmail.mc file? can you just run the basic sendmail.mc thorugh the m4 compiler and see whether it works...

hi,

I read somewhere that the final sendmail.cf should be generated like:
m4 <path-to-cf.m4> sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
I might be mistaken , maybe someone else can clarify this one.
