Sorry for the delay on this. I put this mail aside and never got to looking it up until now. There is no 'ssmailcf' set of source files on my old 3.2R CDs either. However, you can find the sources and install them with the first CD, # cd /cdrom/src # cat scontrib.?? | tar xzf - -C /usr/src contrib/sendmail If you want to put them somewhere else change the '/usr/src' to whatever directory you'd like. Might want to submit a doc PR about that FAQ item. -- Crist J.
