Description Scott Doty 2007-09-28 21:38:22 EDT 
Description of problem:

Application of update to sendmail replaced a customized /etc/sendmail.cf with
the default sendmail.cf, and saved the old version as /etc/sendmail.cf.bak. 
This broke my mail server, it seems like the new sendmail.cf should have been
saved as sendmail.cf.rpmnew

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

8.14.1-4.2

How reproducible:

change /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to (say) allow external connections, and then run
"yum update sendmail" -- tada!  A default sendmail.cf overrides the changes.
Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2007-10-01 10:02:43 EDT 
I am sorry, but changes should be made in the sendmail.mc file in /etc/mail.
/etc/sendmail.cf gets automatically overwritten if there is a change in any of
the mc files in /etc/mail.
