1 2 Installing sendmail 3 4Note: as of sendmail 8.9, a new build architecture is in place that allows 5you to use the "Build" shell script in any of the program directories. 6On many environments this will do everything for you, no fuss, no muss. 7 81. Read all the README files noted in the INTRODUCTION section of the README 9 file in this top-level directory. 10 112. Create any necessary site configuration build files, as noted in 12 devtools/Site/README. 13 143. In the sendmail/ directory, run "sh Build" (see sendmail/README for 15 details). 16 174. Change to the cf/cf/ directory (that's not a typo): Copy whichever .mc 18 file best matches your environment to config.mc, where config can be any 19 name. Next, tailor it as explained in cf/README. Then run 20 "sh Build config.cf". 21 225. Back up your current /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and the sendmail binary (whose 23 location varies from operating system to operating system, but is usually 24 in /usr/sbin or /usr/lib). 25 266. Install config.cf as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and install the sendmail binary 27 built in step 3 by cd-ing back to sendmail/ and running "sh Build install". 28 297. For each of the associated sendmail utilities (makemap, mailstats, etc.), 30 read the README in the utility's directory. When you are ready to install 31 it, back up your installed version and type "sh Build install". 32 338. If you are upgrading from an older version of sendmail and are using any 34 database maps, be sure to rebuild them with the new version of makemap, 35 in case you are now using a different (and thereby incompatible) version 36 of Berkeley DB. 37 38$Revision: 8.3.16.2 $, Last updated $Date: 2000/12/30 06:24:03 $ 39
