sendmail from sol8 to sol10

Any of you have any success carrying over a past sendmail
configuration from sol8 to a sol10 installation? I can't find any docs
for this procedure. I have the feeling I am overlooking several config
files.

Any help appreciated.

You are probably better off looking back at your old .mc files to see what
you added to them and why, and then implementing the same with the new
version of sendmail.

The major change you will notice is that there are now two instances of
sendmail, essentially one for sending and one for receiving, with separate
configuration files. One is sendmail.cf, the other submit.cf. The files
used are in /etc/mail, so /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and /etc/mail/submit.cf.
The .mc source files are in /etc/mail/cf/cf. Modify those and build the
..cf files using make. Copy the new .cf files into place. Restart sendmail

# cd/etc/mail/cf/cf
# make sendmail.cf
# make submit.cf
# cp sendmail.cf ../..
# cp submit.cf ../..
# svcadm disable sendmail
# svcadm enable sendmail

If you don't already have a copy, get the sendmail book from O'Reilly.
