Problem creating sendmail.cf file from .mc using /usr/bin/m4

Hello,

When I run /usr/bin/m4 freebsd.mc, the output looks ok,
except that none 
of the define() lines show up in the output - even when
running m4 on an 
unaltered freebsd.mc.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks,
Steve

Did you try make install? If not you need to do all hte
"magic" included 
therein.

the generally accepted way, is to:

cd /etc/mail
make all

then, there will appear some configuration files that are of
the name of the 
server.  make all your edits to the [hostname].mc.  then,
finish up with:

make all install restart

dont bother trying to edit the freebsd.mc file...
mergemaster will stomp your 
changes with a fresh copy of that file each time you
upgrade.
