Determine which CF file sendmail is using

D

dpalme

As I was looking at making some changes to my sendmail for spam control, I found like no less than 7 different CF files, ranging from submit.cf, to sendmail.cf to freebsd.cf, etc.

How do I determine which one is the REAL one?
 
ok I really srewed things up tonight. I thought I had it right and made a slight modification to the freebsd.mc file and then recompiled it with the following:
Code: 
m4 freebsd.mc > sendmail.cf

Now I am getting the following errors and I have no idea how to correct this, so any help for bailing my fanny out of trouble would be appreciated:

Code:

I think I got it. Instead of using the M4 (which was linux) I should have been doing a make and then make install.

what a nightmare
