Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (3378 mails)

get the source for sendmail from sendmail.org
put it in /usr/src
untar it
cd to /usr/src/sendmail-xxx/sendmail
do sh Build
do the same for the directory makemap and any others in there you think you 
might need

now, backup your current sendmail binaries (sendmail, makemap, mailq, 
newaliases, etc - they will be in /usr/sbin or /usr/bin and backup your 
configs in /etc/mail, just tar the whole thing up) and go back to the 
directories mentioned earlier and do sh Build install

now you need to go to /etc/mail and do
makemap hash access < access
makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable
and continue for all the .db files that are in /etc/mail
now rebuild your aliases file with newaliases
now build your sendmail.cf file by copying /etc/mail/linux.mc to 
/usr/src/sendmail-xxx/cf/cf/sendmail.mc then cd to /usr/src/sendmail-xxx/cf/cf
and do 
sh Build sendmail.cf
copy this file to /etc/mail and /etc

now restart sendmail
rcsendmail restart

thats all i had to do to get it working
