How do I get sendmail to use more than 10 DAEMON_OPTIONS. I have a cluster
of mail servers (answering differently behind a Load Balancer)
I have

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=dbmail-mx2')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1005, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1006, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1007, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1008, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1010, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1011, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1012, Name=mail.xx)
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=1015, Name=mail.xx)

And I want to be able to have more than 10 .

It says "/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 285: too many daemons defined (10 max)"
when I try and use more ...

How I can Do this? (or do I have to recompile sendmail with other options)?

Thanks
Craig

Not only that, you have to change the source!:-) From sendmail/conf.h:

#define MAXDAEMONS 10 /* max number of ports to listen to */
