[luau] Sendmail building troubles...

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha all,

	I'm rebuilding sendmail with a new version and I am having two small 
troubles when compiling and starting it.   When I build and install sendmail, 
I get the following error when I initialize it:

[root at VALinux sendmail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -bi
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 201: readcf: unknown option name 
AutoRebuildAliases
Warning: Option: AuthOptions requires SASL support (-DSASL)
Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.12.3 supports version 10, .cf 
file is version 9
[root at VALinux sendmail]#

When compiling sendmail, I get :

[root at VALinux sendmail]# sh Build && sh Build install
Configuration: pfx=, os=Linux, rel=2.4.9-31smp, rbase=2, rroot=2.4, 
arch=i686, sfx=, variant=optimized

        rm -f $i; \
        ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail $i; \
done

install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 newaliases.0 /usr/man/man1/newaliases.1

I cannot get the "AuthOptions" to work because I cannot figure out which m4 
macro I need to edit so I can add the compiler flag "-DSASL" to "CFLAGS."  I 
did find a line in the file "defines.m4" that looks like a good candidate, 
only adding the flag to that line didn't fix it.   Note the line:  "make: 
Nothing to be done for `all'."  which is curious, I thought the change to the 
m4 file would change the compiler flags and thus force a rebuild, so I am 
wondering if my change actually was recognized as a change that needed to be 
addressed by the compiler.  

The second error involves the error referred to in:  
"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 201: readcf: unknown option name 
AutoRebuildAliases"
I suppose I could turn this option off in sendmail.mc, but I'd like the 
aliases to be rebuilt when I reboot once in a while.  

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mahalos in advance,

Ben
