I'm attempting to configure sendmail to relay outgoing mail to an internal smtp server. I found that the commented line in sendfile.mc that starts with 'dnl define(`SMART_HOST'... needed to be uncommented and a valid value inserted. No problem there, but when I attempt to 'make -C /etc/mail', I get WARNING: 'sendmail.mc' is modified. Please install package sendmail-cf to update your configuration. make: Leaving directory `/etc/mail' Researching further, it seems I need to install the 'sendmail-cf' package, which I can't seem to find with yum. What piece of this puzzle am I missing? TIA, Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life Insurance Co.

No problem there, but when I attempt to > 'make -C /etc/mail', I getI know you are not advised to edit sendmail.cf but you can edit non ruleset stuff without problems. Look for DS and append the name of the smarthost to DS. eg: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmail.domain.com After that, you can go about sorting out your yum problem.
