+			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.
