Why do you think SENDMAIL_CF exists?

It doesn't depend on other material from the rest of the source tree, except for the Build script that could be replaced with a plain Makefile. Take a look at a Solaris 7 system sometime; they provide a version of sendmail 8.9.3 with the base OS distribution and put the complete m4 configuration package under /usr/lib/mail including the templates used to build their main.cf and subsidiary.cf files. The total cost in space is a little over 300K. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
