You have to generate a new cf file using m4. To do so, cd to the sendmail-x.x.x/cf/cf dir, and either create an new .mc file or use the generic-bsd4.4.mc file, and run m4 to create the sendmail.cf file like this.. m4 ../m4/cf.m4 generic-bsd4.4.mc > sendmail.cf That'll put a sendmail.cf file in the sendmail-x.x.x/cf/cf directory. Copy that to /etc, restart sendmail, and you should be ready to go. If you decide to make your own .mc file to use, the sendmail web site has a list of the features you can use.
