Alejandro Ramirez said in a posting back on December 3rd 1999 "you have to tell sendmail to use this files, for this you will have to add the following option to your ".mc" file.: FEATURE('virtusertable', 'hash /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl .... you can find a generic file in "/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf" directory......" Well thats probably OK if one has a "/usr/src/contrib" directory, but not much use if it doesn't exist !!" Now I know there's a place in /sysinstall to add all system sources, but surely there's gotta be a better way to get the one itty bitty file I need than clutter up my system with hundreds of Mb's of stuff I'll probably never uae.. Is it more straightforward to download the source from sendmail.org &compile / install over the existing sendmail installation in order to get access to the configuration stuff ?? I've tried making sense of the documentation at sendmail.org, but its obviously written for experts & not someone trying to figure this stuff out for the first time, there's far too many critical steps omitted for it to be of any use to a newbie.. According to info at sendmail.org, in order to reverse-map local users for outbound mail, apparently I also need to add "FEATURE('genericstable', 'dbm /etc/genericstable')dnl" "GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE('/etc/sendmail.cG')dnl" and create "/etc/genericstable" however there's virtually no info explaining exactly HOW one is supposed to go about this. In documentation generally there's many mentions of "sending a SIGHUP" which I understand is supposed to be a way or restarting a process. However as far as I've been able to find, the actual command "SIGHUP" doesn't exist. There's no man entry for it, hours of poking around the mailing list archives has failed to produce any indication of how to use it, (the only response I've ever got from using it is Command not found), so why is it mentioned so often rather than using the "real" command relevant to whatever application, in this case something like "kill -HUP 'cat /var/run/inetd.pid" ??
