Yes. It means you haven't updated your sendmail.cf file since 8.11.1 was out. The first version number is the version of the Sendmail executable. The second version number is the version of the Sendmail .m4 files that was used to create your current sendmail.cf file. It's generally a good idea to update your sendmail.cf file too whenever you change versions. It's not always mandatory, but just to be on the safe side, do it now. First make sure to take a backup copy of /etc/mail/*.cf, just in case the update doesn't work out quite right for you. There's no reason why it should fail but anyway. # cd /etc/mail # tar cf - *.cf | gzip -9c - > oldcf.tar.gz Then regenerate all the *.cf files: # make cf Install them as sendmail.cf and submit.cf: # make install Restart sendmail: # make restart and you should be set to go. : If anything seems to fail for you after this remake of the *.cf : files, just enter /etc/mail and restore from the backup copy: : : # cd /etc/mail : # zcat oldcf.tar.gz | tar xf - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
