No, running m4 manually is not necessary - it was on former Redhat Linux
releases. It would even be simpler by just running "make -C /etc/mail".
But not necessary. If you look into the Sendmail init script you will
find there in the start() function definition following content:
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
if test -x /usr/bin/make -a -f /etc/mail/Makefile ; then
make all -C /etc/mail -s
