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.
