Hi,

I would need to re install Sendmail, but NOt via the RPM package
delivered on Centos, but with the package downloaded on Sendmail website

( The Vacation program seems to be missing....)

As soon as I have recompiled and installed Sendmail.. How can I start
Sendmail as daemon ??

I am not sure that
> sendmail&

.... would do the job!?!

Thanks

ISR that the package comes with a Sys V init script - just drop this
in /etc/init.d then run `checkconfig --add sendmail`, then (I'm a bit
unsure about the syntax of this one - best to check the man page)
`chkconfig --levels 3,5 sendmail on`

If you haven't got the init script, then use the one that came with
the rpm.
