I have included two posssible setups for sendmail:
|
|
|
|
- "cf/sendmail-slackware.mc" for people who are connected to the internet
|
|
(most probably via ethernet or dialup). This configuration is installed
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
- "cf/linux.uucp.mc", if you have one uucp host to send all mail (via uucp).
|
|
The other uucp host must understand domain names and "normal" internet
|
|
mail addresses like luser@host.domain.edu.
|
|
You first have to configure uucp to work properly (/usr/conf/uucp).
|
|
Then you have to change the name of the uucp host you are connected to in
|
|
the sendmail config file. If you are connected to "hugo", your config file
|
|
has a line "define(`SMART_HOST', uucp-dom:hugo)".
|
|
|
|
If you want to install a new configuration file, do as root
|
|
"m4 linux.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf", where linux.mc is one of the above
|
|
config files or a new one by yourself.
|
|
|
|
The file README contains a good description about sendmail config files.

More notes about sendmail in the Slackware distribution:
|
|
|
|
Two ready-made config files are provided here:
|
|
|
|
sendmail-slackware.cf and linux.uucp.cf.
|
|
|
|
To use one, just copy it to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. If you use the one
|
|
for UUCP, you'll have to change the part that says:
|
|
|
|
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
|
|
DSuucp-dom:otheruucphost
|
|
|
|
...replacing 'otheruucphost' with the name of the UUCP host you'll
|
|
be connecting to.
|
|
|
|
The standard Slackware config file for using sendmail with TCP/IP on Linux
|
|
is sendmail-slackware.cf. This supports numerous extra features that can
|
|
be set up with the config files in /etc/mail, such as the /etc/mail/access
|
|
control file. See the README section titled ANTI-SPAM CONFIGURATION CONTROL
|
|
for more information on how to set up the /etc/mail/access and other config
|
|
files (domaintable, mailertable, virtusertable).
|
|
|
|
If you need to generate your own .cf file from a .mc file, you'll need to
|
|
install the m4.tgz package (GNU m4), and the sendmail-cf.tgz package. (The
|
|
full configuration package for sendmail, plus the extra Slackware *.mc
|
|
files)
|
|
|
|
This sendmail package has been configured to use procmail for local mail
|
|
delivery. Be sure to install the procmail.tgz package.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to thank Florian La Roche for making it so easy to compile sendmail
|
|
for Linux, and Eric Allman for creating the sendmail system in the first
|
|
place. I'd also like to thank Stephen R. van den Berg for letting us use the
|
|
procmail system with Slackware -- it greatly enhances the usefulness of the
|
|
Linux mail system.
|
|
|
|
Have fun! If you find any bugs that you think are my fault, please
|
|
let me know.
