Does the distribution with AIX not come with a sendmail.mc?  That's the file you should be modifying to create a sendmail.cf.

<div>
The .mc (and .m4) files that come with AIX are just samples and cannot reliably be used to build a working sendmail.cf (without a lot of customization, that is).<br />
<br />
They're in /usr/samples/tcpip/sendmai<wbr />l<br />
See the README file there for more.<br />

Hello <br />
<br />
I am using sendmail on AIX 5.3. How do I update the sendmail.cf file. The command echo \$Z | sendmail -d0 show that the (subdomain name) $m = &lt;null&gt; is blank / null. I need to set an CM option in the sendmail.cf file. After editing how do I apply the optoin. I do not have any mc files.<br />
<br />
Also how do I start sendmail on the command line with options: startsrc -s sendmail -a &quot;-bd -q30m&quot; -O NoRecipientAction=add-to<br />
I want to be able to test optiosn before editing the sendmail.cf.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Hello 

I am using sendmail on AIX 5.3. How do I update the sendmail.cf file. The command echo \$Z | sendmail -d0 show that the (subdomain name) $m = <null> is blank / null. I need to set an CM option in the sendmail.cf file. After editing how do I apply the optoin. I do not have any mc files.

Also how do I start sendmail on the command line with options: startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q30m" -O NoRecipientAction=add-to
I want to be able to test optiosn before editing the sendmail.cf.

Thanks in advance.

sendmail.cf on AIX

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.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
