Dear all

I'm new to sendmail and I would compile some feature were I'm successful but
in using makemap I have problems. I did the following:

1. cd /opt/sendmail-8.12.6
2. Read INSTALL
3. sh Build
4. cd cf/cf
5. cp bestmatching .mc file to sendmail.mc (generic config for SunOS5)
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-solaris.mc,v 8.13 2001/06/27 21:46:30 gshapiro Exp
$')
OSTYPE(solaris2)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
FEATURE(relay_hosts_only)dnl
FEATURE(access_db)dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
6. sh Build sendmail.cf
7. sh Build install-cf
8. go back to /opt/sendmail-8.12.6
9. sh Build install
10. cd makemap
11. sh Build install
12. makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access.txt

Then I get: makemap: Need to recompile with -DNEWDB for hash support

If I let the features relay_hosts_only, access_db and dnsbl away, I can use
sendmail without seen prob, but I would feel better to use this features and
so it would be great to have your support.

Thanks a lot in advance

Stefan

You probably need the berkley db installed on your
system for makemap hash to work correctly on to generate
*.db files.

www.sleepycat.com or a sunos download resource will
get you that.

Thanks, I got the compiled version 3.3 from Sunfreeware.com. I added this
package, and switched to /opt/sendmail-8.12.6/makemap and did again "sh
Build install". Do you know, have I to make something others? Because it
didn't work til now. (Add some path variables or so?)

Thanks

If you make a fundamental change like this you need to ./Build -c
from the top directory. To add NEWDB support I suggest you look over
the INSTALL document - especially the part about:
"2. Create any necessary site configuration build files, as noted in
devtools/Site/README."

See the FAQ. You can use dbm instead of hash on your machine.
