Chapter 2. Build and Install sendmail
What’s New As of V8.13
V8.12.6 sendmail introduced one new
Build m4-macro that arrived too late for
inclusion in the third edition of the sendmail
book: the confMSP_STFILE
Build m4-macro (Section 2.1.1
[V8.13]).
confMSP_STFILE Build m4-macro
Beginning with V8.12.6 sendmail, the
confMSP_STFILE

submit.cf file, like this:
#cd cf/cf... edit the submit.mc file here #make install-submit-cf... the submit.cf file is recreated and installed
Or, run make
submit.cf rather
than make
install-submit-cf if
you want to check the result before installation.
