I have found that the default directory structures used by manually buliding/installing sendmail from the source tarball match that of the sendmail rpm. I simply... 1) Download the sendmail tarball from sendmail.org 2) Extract the tarball to a directory 3) Add my site specific configs to PATH_TO/sendmail-8.12.8/devtools/Site/site.config.m4 4) Compile (build) the sendmail binaries by typing: # cd /PATH_TO/sendmail-8.12.8 # ./Build 5) Install the sendmail binaries # /etc/init.d/sendmail stop # ./Build install (see note below) 6) Compile/Install the sendmail milter libraries # cd /PATH_TO/sendmail-8.12.8/libmilter # ./Build # ./Build install 7) Rebuild "both" sendmail.cf and submit.cf to match 8.12.8 revision. (check headers) 8) Start sendmail # /etc/init.d/sendmail start Note: If I remember correctly, I had to create a symbolic link so that the sendmail man pages would install correctly.
