Installing sendmail
Note: as of sendmail 8.9, a new build architecture is in place that allows
you to use the "Build" shell script in any of the program directories.
On many environments this will do everything for you, no fuss, no muss.
1. Read all the README files noted in the INTRODUCTION section of the README
file in this top-level directory.
2. Create any necessary site configuration build files, as noted in
devtools/Site/README.
3. In the sendmail/ directory, run "sh Build" (see sendmail/README for
details).
4. Change to the cf/cf/ directory (that's not a typo): Copy whichever .mc
file best matches your environment to config.mc, where config can be any
name. Next, tailor it as explained in cf/README. Then run
"sh Build config.cf".
5. Back up your current /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and the sendmail binary (whose
location varies from operating system to operating system, but is usually
in /usr/sbin or /usr/lib).
6. Install config.cf as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and install the sendmail binary
built in step 3 by cd-ing back to sendmail/ and running "sh Build install".
7. For each of the associated sendmail utilities (makemap, mailstats, etc.),
read the README in the utility's directory. When you are ready to install
it, back up your installed version and type "sh Build install".
