For outgoing mail, the MUA invokes sendmail, which is configured to relay off of our local mailserver. There seems to be two ways to do this under FreebBSD, one of which I cannot make work : Option 1, which works: - In /etc/mail/freebsd.mc, define SMART_HOST. For example: define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhost.ms.washington.edu')dnl - cd /etc/mail ; make cf ; make install - chown root /usr/lib/exec/sendmail/sendmail - chmod 4755 /usr/lib/exec/sendmail/sendmail Option 2, which fails: - In /etc/mail/, define an relay host. For example: FEATURE(msp mailhost.ms.washington.edu)dnl - cd /etc/mail ; make install-submit-cf The "make install-submit-cf" command generates this error message: /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 freebsd.submit.mc > freebsd.submit.cf m4: /usr/share/sendmail/cf/feature/msp mailhost.ms.washington.edu.m4: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /etc/mail. It seems to be looking for an m4 file for the mail server, but that doesn't make sense to me. I'd prefer to use this second method. Can anyone help me get past this problem?
