- Installing sendmail
-
-**Note**: Starting with sendmail 8.12, sendmail is no longer set-user-ID
-root by default. As a result of this, you need to install two .cf files.
-See steps 4 and 6 in this document. We also strongly recommend reading
-sendmail/SECURITY for more installation information.
-
-1. Read all the README files noted in the INTRODUCTION section of the README
- file in this top-level directory.
-
-2. Create any necessary site configuration build files, as noted in
- devtools/Site/README.
-
-3. In the sendmail/ directory, run "sh Build" (see sendmail/README for
- details).
-
-4. Change to the cf/cf/ directory (that's not a typo): Copy whichever .mc
- file best matches your environment to sendmail.mc. Next, tailor it
- as explained in cf/README. Then run
- "sh Build sendmail.cf".
-
-5. Back up your current /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and the sendmail binary (whose
- location varies from operating system to operating system, but is usually
- in /usr/sbin or /usr/lib).
-
-6. Install sendmail.cf as /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and submit.cf as
- /etc/mail/submit.cf. This can be done in the cf/cf by using
- "sh Build install-cf".
-
- Please read sendmail/SECURITY before continuing; you have to create a
- new user smmsp and a new group smmsp for the default installation.
- Then install the sendmail binary built in step 3 by cd-ing back to
- sendmail/ and running "sh Build install".
-
-7. For each of the associated sendmail utilities (makemap, mailstats,
- etc.), read the README in the utility's directory if it exists. When
- you are ready to install it, back up your installed version and type "sh
- Build install".
-
-8. If you are upgrading from an older version of sendmail and are using any
- database maps, be sure to rebuild them with the new version of makemap,
- in case you are now using a different (and thereby incompatible) version
- of Berkeley DB.
