For my understanding it is working the other way around ... all the files in /etc/mail are changed then you run SuSEconfig and information will be trynsported to the sendmail.cf file
Yes, that's the way it works. What I am saying is that I needed to intervene in the normal process here and modify /etc/mail/submit.cf after it was created by SuSEconfig in order to avoid the warning messages.
I still don't know why it makes no difference what I put into /etc/mail/trusted-users. And, of course, when I do this SuSEconfig now complains that I have modified the file.
I tested some things by myself and here is what I found: On my sendmail configuration it does not matter what you write in the trusted user file because everyone is allowed to use the -f option ... I
