------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Go into sendmails source directory tree
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf
(2) Make the missing obj directory first, you need it later...
mkdir obj
(3) Create a sendmail master configuration file (.mc file).
Name it yourname.mc
vi yourname.mc
(4) Contents of the yourname.mc file:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# This is the prototype for a site with only a uucp connection
# to the world, where smarthost and uucp relay are the same ...
# Replace "yourname" with your machines nodename without domain
# Replace "smarthost" with your uucp neighbours nodename without domain
# i.e. here is myname "knobel" and my smarthost is "gomel", to which I'm
# connected with uucp via dialup modem.

VERSIONID(`yourname.mc 1.0')
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) create the new sendmai.cf file, which will be stored under
obj/yourname.cf, by typing
make yourname.cf
(6) After that copy obj/yourname.cf to /etc/sendmail.cf
(7) It's up to you to browse through the systems global aliases
file ((etc/aliases), where important mail aliases are stored.
Remember, if you make any changes you have to rebuild the
alaises database by typing:
newaliases
(8) BTW: You do not need to create a frozen config file,
since sendmail on FreeBSD 1.X isn't compiled with that
option turned on.
