I told you. No you don't have to have the whole source tree around. All you need is what is mentioned elsewhere in this thread. No point in my retyping it. To answer your question about /etc/mail: Yes, it's true that those files can be rebuilt by their own Makefile. The problem with doing the same for sendmail.cf is that it depends on its m4 includes being in src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf/. Brandon D.
