a little less confused now
Authored by: carsten on Mar 12, '03 03:38:54PM
Thanks for the info and instructions professor, this helped me a lot.

A few days ago my ISP had sent me email after their' scan determined I was using the old sendmail so I am eager to make sure I really am using the latest Sendmail.

I downloaded the latest source from sendmail.org. Then I copied /usr/share/sendmail/conf/cf/generic-darwin.mc to sendmail.mc and the rest of your instructions worked fine.

(I am not using any custom mc, and this generic file with my 10.2.4 is the same as the latest one in the Darwin CVS, except for some reason mine has RBL configuration entries. http://www.opensource.apple.com/cgi-bin/registered/cvs/sendmail/sendmail/cf/cf/generic-darwin.mc)

Now when I telnet localhost 25, I see "Sendmail 8.12.7/8.12.8" which is looking better, previously it showed "Sendmail 8.12.7/8.12.2".

I'm still a little troubled that part of the Sendmail version string appears to be the old version, and not 8.12.8. Also:


sendmail -d0 < /dev/null | perl -nle 'print if 1 .. /^$/'
tells me:

Version 8.12.7
 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
                NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINFO NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SCANF
                USERDB XDEBUG

Any suggestions?
