when I try to use my Red Hat 5.1 system as an SMTP server with Eudora as a
client. I suspect I need to add FEATURE(relay_entire_domain) to the .mc
file. So I add it to /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf/redhat.mc and try to
recompile redhat.cf. The original Makefile doesn't work, but
Makefile.dist seems to work better. I do the make as follows:

# make -f Makefile.dist redhat.cf
rm -f redhat.cf
m4 ../m4/cf.m4 redhat.mc > redhat.cf
redhat.mc:11: m4: Cannot open ../feature/relay_entire_domain.m4: No such file or
directory
chmod 444 redhat.cf
#

Lo and behold, I look in the ../feature directory, and there is no
relay_entire_domain.m4 file.

How do I go about getting a new one? I just grabbed the latest source
<ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.1/SRPMS/sendmail-8.8.7-17.sr...>
and reinstalled, but the file didn't appear (and it isn't in the list of
files to be installed).

Red Hat 5.1, sendmail-8.8.7-17

I am afraid, that this feature has appeared only in sendmail 8.9.
Recent versions fight the spam another way. But may be I am mistaken.
All the same, the distribution of sendmail 8.9.1 (ftp.sendmail.org) has this
file.
Whether it will fit for 8.7 - I don't know.

8.8 uses another rules.
See the "release notes" for Red Hat 5.0, esp.:

http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/manual/manual/doc012.html

There you can find this note:
Please Note: In this release of Red Hat Linux, sendmail does not relay by
default. Because of this, if your Red Hat Linux system must act as a relay,
please review the following information.

and the explanation what to do (you have to add the names or IP addresses
of those machines which can use your mailserver as a relay to the
appropriate file(s)).

BTW: This WWW page also points to:
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Eca/email/check.html
(%7E is the encoding for ~)
from where these rules are taken.
