Re: spamcop and sendmail and rhl 7.2 where the heck is config.m4!??

["Jim Bija" <jim clevelandnet com>]

service sendmail stop? whatever distro that is.. anyway, im using rhl 7.2
with sendmail 8.11.6. i kill it via /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
and it does die. then i restart it. and it does take the changes i make,
cause it kills sendmail. i add this line
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `bl.spamcop.net', `"Spam blocked see:
http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?"$&{client_addr}')dnl

then as i describe below recompile my .cf file.restart sendmail.and it dies.

here is the client error

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail.mydomain.com', Server: 'mail.mydomain.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

while this is happening i get NO errors in maillog or messages. so im
clueless as to whats going on.
