I can't understand the file contains, Is there any manual for it! Some may say that sendmail.cf files are not intended to be understood :-) Anyway, if your want to understand sendmail, you've got to : * read the files in /usr/share/doc/smm/07.sendmailop and 16.sendmail, * if it is not enough, buy the new book on sendmail : Sendmail B. Costales with E. Allman & N. Rickert, O'Reilly & Assocciates, Inc. A must for anyone who want to understand sendmail. But never take a sendmail.cf from anywere without studying it and modify it according to your mail setup. The best way is generally to RTFM carefully and go to /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf. Everything required to build .cf files from .mc files with m4 is explained here. -- Ollivier ROBERT Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net A FreeBSD & PERL addict...
