Sorry, the output is 'Binary files differ'. The /etc/mail Makefile is
binary, the former is not.
The copy of the new Makefile did not work, It states that it 'Do not know
how to make freebsd.submit.cf'. By driving through mergemaster, I can see
that I will destroy what is working of sendmail :o)
Is there any reason that I can't stay with the old config files? I can't
afford to break sendmail at this time. If it is not a security risk to
remain with old config files against the newest binary, I will just leave
it sit for now until I can dig up more info.
Tks.
