Look at /var/run/sendmail.pid --- unusually for most daemons it
records not just the PID but also the command line used to start the
process:
# cat /var/run/sendmail.pid
243
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30m
Now, if there is a '-C /some/file.cf' flag there, then that's the .cf
file you're using. Otherwise you're going to be using the compiled in
default, which for the MTA process is /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
The same thing holds for the MSP (mail submission process) sendmail
instance, but using different files. The PID file is in
/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid:
# cat /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid
124
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m
and in this case, the corresponding default config file is
/etc/mail/submit.cf
Default locations of .cf and similar files are documented in
sendmail(8) and /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README, although you have to
hunt about in the file to find all the details of the MSP stuff.
Cheers,
Matthew
