In my 3.4-S home box, the /etc/rc script that starts sendmail also
checks if the file /etc/sendmail.cf is there. After upgrading sendmail
8.10.2 manually, I was bitten by this fact, since I had my sendmail.cf
in /etc/mail and not in /etc. Perhaps you ought to change your /etc/rc
to check for /etc/mail/sendmail.cf too.
If this is the problem with your sendmail, then look for the lines:
if [ "X${sendmail_enable}" = X"YES" -a -r /etc/sendmail.cf ]; then
echo -n ' sendmail'; /usr/sbin/sendmail ${sendmail_flags}
and change the first one to:
if [ "X${sendmail_enable}" = X"YES" -a -r /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ]; then
Ciao.
