greetings, i don't know if this should go to stable or questions, but here is the issue: the domain ifelse.org seems to give m4 a fit when creating a sendmail.cf file. for example: define(`SMART_HOST', `what.ifelse.org') ends up: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSwhat..org it also happens for MASQUERADE_AS() and Cw, so i imagine it will happen everywhere. i tested this with test.unix.org and got test..org as well, so i suppose it works for any words reserved by m4. i tried this on debian linux using GNU m4 and there was no problem. $ uname -a FreeBSD taylor.poa 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #0: Sat Apr 21 05:43:39 EDT 2001 root@taylor.poa:/usr/src/sys/compile/TAYLOR i386 cheers, Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
