[WBEL-users] Need Help Configuring Sendmail

[Michiel van Es]

Any changes you make to the /etc/mail directory is simply made active by 
only typing : make in the /etc/mail directory.
You do not want to change the sendmail.cf but the sendmail.mc file and 
then do a make.
Simple, easy and effective.
