Unfortunately, you're stuck with understanding the diffs and converting them into m4 commands that you'll add to a skeleton m4 file. Bear in mind that the latest sendmail has a lot of spam stuff built in, so if you don't want it you'll need to disable it and if you already have spam filters in your existing .cf file you can get rid of them (maybe). > Hi! > > Is it possible to reverse engineer the sendmail.cf file to a .mc file? > The mailserver was configured (some time ago) by a (to me) unknown person. > Now I'm setting up a new mailserver with a newer version of sendmail, and > would like to understand what the old config file did, instead of just > copying it. > > I don't like the .cf file-format at all ;( so having it as .mc would be > great. > > Any ideas? > > TIA > > -Anders -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
