sendmail from source [3]

[m.w.chang]

Mr. Hunley, I have finally built sendmail-8.12.6 from source with 
-DMILTER and -DSASL=10528. I also compiled my own cyrus-sasl-1.5.28 from 
source (I had no lock with sasl-2.1.7 though, when the newer version 
needed to work with berkeley db which until now I didn't understand). I 
am still stuck in the kerkeley db-2.7.7 provided by caldera.....

The site.config.m4 can be placed in /etc/mail rather than in that 
special devtools/Site directory. Just build your sendmail by:

sh Build -c -f /etc/mail/site.config.m4

Easier for config files management when you upgrade sendmail again.

I think you might be interersted to separate the smrsh from the basic 
procedures in your sxs artitcle, and then add the SASL part.

I wonder how I could build sendmail.cf from config.mc using my own m4 
script if I rm -rf /usr/src/sendmail-8.12.6 after building the rpm. It 
seems that Build install didn't make a copy of some m4 macros needed to 
create sendmail.cf from config.mc.
