With this in mind, I would recommend that you... 1) Re-create all database files located in /etc/mail from their source. This is easily done by copying "just" the source files (like access, mailertable, virtusertable, etc...) from your 7.2 system to /etc/mail on your RH9 system and typing "make" to re-create their database files (like access.db, mailertable.db, etc...). 2) If you have customized sendmail.cf on your 7.2 system, then it should be re-created on your RH9 system using the RH9 supplied sendmail.mc file as a starting point. Add any customized settings you made to your sendmail.mc file on your 7.2 system to the sendmail.mc file on your RH9 system. Type "make" to re-create your sendmail.cf file. Note: I don't remember the defaults on RH7.2, but be aware of... 1) sendmail.cf is now located in /etc/mail, not /etc. 2) While editing the RH9 supplied sendmail.mc file, don't forget the read the following section and make the necessary change (add dnl) if needed. Especially if this system will be accepting e-mail from the internet. dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet. dnl # dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
