>Description:
The Makefile in /etc/mail is a great improvement over past releases.
However, it doesn't make it easy to keep a set of different .mc
files on hand for different hosts! I've added a bit of code to
the Makefile that looks at the output of `hostname` and uses
`hostname`.mc as the .mc file from which sendmail.cf is built.
This lets an administrator take a library of .mc files from host
to host; the correct one is installed according to the host name.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The code I use is as follows (replacing the line that says
SENDMAIL_MC?= freebsd.mc
in the original):
# If the environment variable SENDMAIL_MC is defined, build cf from
# that. Otherwise, try to build `hostname`.mc. If there's no such
# file, fall back to freebsd.mc.
.ifndef SENDMAIL_MC
SENDMAIL_MC!= hostname
SENDMAIL_MC:= ${SENDMAIL_MC}.mc
.if !exists(${SENDMAIL_MC})
SENDMAIL_MC= freebsd.mc
.endif
.endif
(and then continuing with
INSTALL_CF= ${SENDMAIL_MC:R}.cf
etc.)
etc.
