I just experienced this! /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail......some other comments:

1. It would be nice if everything goes into /etc/mail including sendmail.cf
   file.

2. One should add similar comments on top of the submit.cf file that shows
   how it can be recompiled with m4.

for sendmail spec file:
install libsm.a as some milter programs need it to compile
if version check for prog.sendmail move

APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_MILTER=1')
in config.m4 as MILTER is now a stable

in the 8.12.2-7 spec the different config.m4 were a little screwy
IIHO, they should all be the same
- hesiod for <72

I havn't tried it but openssl is in 6.2 eratta so the SSL stuff might be OK

+pushd devtools/Site
<snip> 
 %patch0 -p1
<snip>
+mv redhat.config.m4 site.config.m4
+popd


A Devtools/Site/site.config.m4 will get used automagically

Possibly add it as a %doc entry


Sorry for the multiple submissions, but it made it easier for me to remember
what I had changed locally

And IMHO, yes all files in /etc/mail would be better than some in /etc and some
in /etc/mail

http://people.redhat.com/laroche/sendmail-8.12.2-9.src.rpm

Let me know what is missing.

Thanks,

Florian La Roche

laroche:
I emailed you on a compile error I was getting.  It turns out I had a shared mem
segment in use ( ? ) that was causing the t-shm test to fail.  The only way I
could clear it was a reboot :(

[chrismcc@philippe libsm]$ ./t-shm 
2 of 2 tests completed successfully
4 of 4 tests completed successfully

works now.

for redhat.config.m4

-if test %{errata} -gt 72 ; then
 %patch0 -p1
-elif test %{errata} -gt 62 ; then
-%patch1 -p1
-else
-%patch2 -p1
+if test %{errata} -le 72 ; then
+# Don't use hesiod
+%{__perl} -pi -e "s#(-DHESIOD|-DHES_GETMAILHOST|-lhesiod)##" redhat.config.m4


This eliminates having to keep 3 different config files around

let aliases live in /etc/mail instead of /etc

-%patch5 -p1
+# leave aliases in /etc/mail
+# %patch5 -p1

Also requires redhat.mc `ALIASES" line removal

makes keeping track of the dirs easier.  They are also build in the same order
as the Makefile indicates  (if it matters)

mail.local installed but not packaged

vacation added

fix submit.mc

Add to /etc/mail/Makefile

        @echo "running m4 ${@:.cf=}.mc > $@"
        @/usr/bin/m4 ${@:.cf=}.mc > $@

if errata is 62 this just breaks

The problem with /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail exists upto and including
version 8.12.2-11....this is bad because the old sendmail binary is not
replaced and trying to restart it fails. I thought this was fixed in -10.

What I added to the init script to start the queue runner

start() {
        # Start daemons.

        if ! test -f /var/run/sm-client.pid ; then
        echo -n $"Starting sm-client: "
                touch /var/run/sm-client.pid
                chown smmsp:smmsp /var/run/sm-client.pid
        daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac \
                                  $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE)
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sm-client
        fi



stop() {
        # Stop daemons.
        if test -f /var/run/sm-client.pid ; then
                echo -n $"Shutting down sm-client: "
                killproc sm-client
                RETVAL=$?
                echo
                [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/run/sm-client.pid
                [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/sm-client
        fi

This should be all resolved in the newest rpm. Please open a new bugzilla
entry for further changes you want to have included.

Thanks a lot,

Florian La Roche
