Well, first, I'd go back to basics. Check
ps -aux | egrep sendmail
and see if sendmail is listening.
Also try
netstat -a
to see if it's listening on smtp. If you don't see something like
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN
then the sendmail process isn't on at all.
I'm also confused. You're showing us a sendmail log entry; is that
from the server you're having problems with or is that from another
email server that's sending to the server you're having problems with?
Regarding m4 creation, find out where your source is. What I have
found handy is the following definitions whenever I have wanted to
create an cf file from an m4 file:
CFDIR=$HOME/install/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/
sendmailsrc=/var/usr/local/src/sendmail-8.11.6
alias m4gen="m4 -D_CF_DIR_=${CFDIR} ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4"
I then use m4gen to create my mc file. Change your $CFDIR definition,
and optionally your $sendmailsrc definition (which is just a handy
definition I use to "cd" to that directory; it's optional).
m4gen will create your cf file in ${CFDIR}/m4/ and base its contents
on ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4".
I based all this on a README file placed in sendmail source's ./cf
directory.
