No. freefall.mc was used to build sendmail.cf for freefall.cdrom.com and is provided as an example. > Do I just copy freefall.mc to myconfig.mc and modify as appropriate?

As I recall, the ORA book does not really deal with the new macro based way of building sendmail.cf files via a *.mc file, but rather details the guts of sendmail.cf. As I recall, to build a sendmail.cf from a *.mc file, requires a few other macros files too. If you want to do it this way, get the sendmail kit from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu Tom
