sendmail is not designed to configured as a one-step process. You need
to run m4 to process the macros. this explained why it failed to be
installed from the Lindows warehouse. I believe it will never be easy to
install software like sendmail remotely. You would have to choose from a
long list of sendmail packages if you are to do it from a centralized
warehouse.

sendmail - server install
sendmail - client install
sendmail - server install with sasl authenicattion
... brah .. brah..
