/etc/mail compile fails

[Matt Dohm]

I'm trying to install SALSin my current sendmail configuration, and when I run make install restart in /etc/mail the following message is output:
Examining slaxlan.org.cf...modified  2:55:08 Jun 21, 2003...up-to-date.
Examining install...non-existent...modified before source...out-of-date.
install:> = slaxlan.org.cf
install:? = slaxlan.org.cf
Applying :R to "slaxlan.org.mc"
Result is "slaxlan.org"
install -c -m  slaxlan.org.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
install: invalid file mode: slaxlan.org.cf
*** Error code 64

Stop in /etc/mail.

That's the end of the debug output.  I'm running sendmail 8.12.9 (latest version), and am stumped.  Can anyone help me out?
