In which case you're runnning a system with an old and vulnerable
version of sendmail.
Recommend you update as a matter of priority.
In order to generate the sendmail.cf that you need, the command to use
is:
# cd /etc/mail
# m4 -D_CF_DIR=3D/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m=
4 foo.mc > foo.cf
assuming that you have a load of sendmail related .m4 files under
/usr/share/sendmail/cf -- you may have to substitute
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf instead.
Then, once you're happy that it's generated a reasonable sendmail
configuration file, copy foo.cf to sendmail.cf and restart sendmail.
Cheers,
Matthew
