Off topic but sendmail help needed

[Rob]

That's really strange then. The Makefile is right there in the /etc/mail
directory and this is what it looks like:


# $FreeBSD: src/contrib/sendmail/etc.mail/Makefile,v 1.1 2000/07/07 21:06:52

all: access.db mailertable.db virtusertable.db catchall.db aliases.db

access.db: access
        /usr/sbin/makemap hash access < access

virtusertable.db: virtusertable
        /usr/sbin/makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable

catchall.db: catchall
        /usr/sbin/makemap hash catchall < catchall

mailertable.db: mailertable
        /usr/sbin/makemap hash mailertable < mailertable

aliases.db: aliases
        newaliases

mailertable:
        @echo Generating empty mailertable
        sed -e 's/^/#/' < mailertable.sample > mailertable

access:
        @echo Generating empty access
        sed -e 's/^/#/' < access.sample > access

virtusertable:
        @echo Generating empty virtusertable
        sed -e 's/^/#/' < virtusertable.sample > virtusertable

catchall:
        @echo Generating empty catchall
        sed -e 's/^/#/' < catchall.sample > catchall

clean:
        rm -f access.db virtusertable.db mailertable.db catchall.db

That would mean the Makefile is gone or overwritten, or you're not
in /etc/mail when you try it.  Here's the version comment from mine:
