Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
Authored by: bspahn on May 07, '03 01:14:34PM
I noticed at least one important problem with the terminal command you're trying to run. Notice that the two leading single quotes (`confDONT_BL... and `GroupWritableDi...) are incorrectly displayed as back ticks in the instructions above.

The correct line should read:

echo "define('confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL', 'GroupWritableDirPathSafe')dnl" >> system-darwin.mc

[all in one line of course]

I hope this resolves the problem because I didn't even have the time to try out this very interesting hint myself yet.

Enjoy!

That was an error on my part, and I forgot to the quotes.
However, the rest of the hint works :)

Wait, sorry, I misread your comment (I thought I forgot the ""'s). That's correct, here are the last three lines from my system-darwin.mc file
MAILER(smtp)
MAILER(procmail)
define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupWritableDirPathSaf
e')dnl

Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates

That wasn't an error -- the m4 config files seem to need unbalanced quotes, `like this'. I'm not sure if balanced quotes will work, but all the Sendmail configuration I've been able to find uses the backtick-apostrophe style of quotation.

I'd agree that it's a very odd syntax, but apparently this is what the m4 macro language wants. *shrug*
