I am in the process of setting up a new AIX 5.2 machine. I am not normally an AIX admin so please excuse if this is a dumb question.... this being that I need to alter the sendmail config. I can easily diff the default sendmail.cf with an existing server's file and see where to make the changes I need. However, I see that sendmail now seems to configured in .mc files and compiled to .cf files using m4. This seems a better way that hacking .cf files directly. However, on AIX the IBM documents I have seen only seem to talk about direct .cf changes. My question is, what is considered standard or best practice on AIX? .mc/m4 or direct .cf updates?
Thanks.
