Re: Regenerating the Sendmail.cf file Anyone ?

[Olmy <olmy thistledown org>]

Ahh ... I think I see now. Off of your redhat CD, you need to 
install sendmail-cf-8.x.x

the sendmail-cf RPM has the necessary configuration files for M4
sendmail configurations.

Do an rpm install of that package and then follow the 
instructions that I emailled in earlier and that you
reference below.
