Wanna fight? ;-) I'd recommend scrapping Red Hat 6.2 and going with Red Hat 7.3. I'd also wonder why you are going with the old, 8.9.3 version of sendmail, especially when there is an official Red Hat 6.2 updated for sendmail bringing it to 8.11.6. And if you don't compile it yourself, things work pretty well. Sendmail development has been moving all of its configuration files to /etc/mail for quite a while, (or at least, Red Hat has). It's more in line with the LSB, IIRC. To sum up, I would recommend: 1) Go with Red Hat 7.3 (plus all official updates, of course)\ 2) Use the included rpm of sendmail 8.11.6 3) Check the /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README file (part of the sendmail-cf package) for any changes in usage of the macros you were using. 4) Modify the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file and run: # cd /etc/mail # m4 sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf # service sendmail restart Remember to read the comment at the end of sendmail.mc about the DAEMON_OPTIONS macro and what to do to get sendmail to listen to interfaces other than loopback. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
