Also, by default, makesendmail install does not replace the current sendmail.cf
file.
That said, if you are going to be muking with sendmail, you need to get
your hands a little dirty in the m4 files. It's not near as bad as it
used to be. (10 years ago, I was trying to frob Sun's default sendmail.cf,
yuck). www.sendmail.org has great pages on how to do this. Just READ!
