The sendmail.mc in /etc/mail/ is there, but only because on March 25, 2006 sendmail got updated and there is a corresponding sendmail.cf.rpmnew in /etc/ It's completely un-configured. Thanks though! That was a GREAT lead!

There's no such tool that I'm aware of, and given the ancient version you're moving from, it might not help you much. The RHEL Deployment Guide has some basic information regarding Sendmail, including how to use the m4 processor to generate the .cf file(s). If you intend to work with the RHEL-bundled Sendmail, it's a good idea to have the sendmail-cf, sendmail-doc and sendmail-devel packages installed. The /etc/mail directory should have .rpmnew versions of various files to help you get started. It's also a good idea to have a summary of your environment's requirements, including where and how mail should be routed and delivered, before you start. - Jay -- ``What hath night to do with sleep?
