- This is my sendmail+elm package for linux hosts on the internet.
- I've commented /etc/sendmail.cf in such a way that you should be
- able to figure out what you'll need to change for your site.
-
- elm and friends are all compiled to use sendmail for mail transfer,
- which should be located as /bin/sendmail (I didn't want to break
- tradition and make a /sbin, although you could put it anywhere you
- want as long as there's a symlink to it in /bin)
-
- all utilities are statically linked since I used gcc 2.3.2 to compile.
-
- sendmail goes in /bin, sendmail.cf goes in /etc, and all the elm
- utilities go in /usr/local/bin (make sure you get rid of the ones
- in /usr/bin if you have any there, as they're quite useless with
- sendmail.) I didn't include man pages since you can just get the
- original sources for the man pages.
-
- elm is 2.4pl11
- sendmail is 5.61c+IDA, to which I didn't have to make any changes
- to get to compile, although I did create my own linux config file,
- based on the bsd43 config as well as various others. I didn't keep
- sources since it works and I have no reason to recompile, and as the
- sources are over 1.8MB, I decided it wouldn't be very fun to make diffs.

- -- Nathan Laredo, nathan@laredo.eas.gatech.edu (my linux box which
- you should be able to verify is running sendmail by telnetting to
- port 25 or just plain sending mail there... )
-
- If you have any problems feel free to mail me... I've included my
- /etc/services which you may want to compare with your stuff (I keep
- my inet stuff in /etc for traditional reasons, as well as /usr
- possibily being nfs-mouted sometime in the future...)
