Hello,
I have a dialup connection to the internet from my FreeBSD machine (v2.2.6). So I need to change my default /etc/sendmail.cf config file since my outgoing email reads banta@voyager.ghulam.force9.co.uk instead of banta@ghulam.force9.co.uk . Following the instructions for this in the FAQ (sections 8.18 and 8.19) it says I create a .mc file, in my case ghulam.mc:

VERSIONID(`voyager.ghulam.force9.co.uk.mc version 1.0') 

    OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl

    FEATURE(nouucp)dnl 

    MAILER(local)dnl 

    MAILER(smtp)dnl 

    Cwlocalhost

    Cwvoyager.ghulam.force9.co.uk

    Cwghulam.force9.co.uk 

    MASQUERADE_AS(`ghulam.force9.co.uk')dnl 

    FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl 

    FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl

    FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl

    FEATURE(nodns)dnl 

    define(SMART_HOST, `relay.force9.net') 

    Dmghulam.force9.co.uk 

    define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`ghulam.force9.co.uK')dnl 

    define(`confDELIVERY_MODE',`deferred')dnL


The problem occurs when I follow the instructions in FAQ 8.18 to convert this ghulam.mc to a ghulam.cf to replace my /etc/sendmail.cf. When I'm in the directory: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf, I do:
    make ghulam.mc  
And the Makefile generates an error:
    Makefile:32:*** missing separator. Stop.
 
So I thought that now the problem's with the makefile, so I reinstalled the entire sendmail source distribution from the 1st cdrom under /cdrom/src/ssmailcf.aa. But I still get the same sendmail error.
 
The revision of /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk and other makefile includes I have may be wrong. I tried the command:

ident /usr/share/mk/*.mk

and the revision of /usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk I have is: 1.41.2.6 (compiled on 97/7/31). Is this version not right (after all it was the version shipped out with FBSD 2.2.6)??
 
Thanks,
 
Ghulam
