- Robert,
-
- I thought the S= and R= rewrite rules for the mailers looked familiar. :-)
-
- So are you saying that the dbm config tables eg. MAILERTABLE, DOMAINTABLE,
- PATHTABLE, from Neil & Paul's sendmail will work?? ie if I create my m4
- configuration, run it through Sendmail.mc and generate the .cf it will
- work with the SGI supplied sendmail??
-
- If it *is* the case, PLEASE document it somewhere!!!!!
-
- configmail/sendmail.cf.auto is nice (albiet slow when it runs - don't use it
- for a central mail host), but if I can use the IDA style configuration
- setup that would be a bonus,
-

-
- PS. what version of the IDA sendmail is the SGI supplied beasty based on??
