Installing sendmail 8.12.11
Hi all,
recently I removed the original version of sendmail that ships with red hat 9.0.
I have downloaded sendmail 8.12.11 and untared the file into my /usr/src directory.
upon changing to sendmail-8.12.11 and running sh Build, I get the error messages:

Thanks for your reply jlevie.
I have found the site to download all the updates for RH9:
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/redhat/updates/9/en/os/i686/
When I have downloaded them to my /usr/src folder, is it a matter of opening a shell and using the command below to install?
rpm -ivh "packagename.rpm" ?

Email Servers
Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

If you are installing 8.12.11 for security reasons you also really need to update your RedHat 9 system. I can see that you are running the distro kernel (2.4.20-8) which implies that the RedHat 9 errata haven't been applied. The errata includes a number of important security fixes that you should have.
