How do you try to generate the .cf files? Simply run
make -C /etc/mail
(just to see if there are any errors/complaints)
Output:
make: Entering directory `/etc/mail'
make: Leaving directory `/etc/mail'
sendmail.cf did have content in it this time.
then
service sendmail restart
I restarted the service:
Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ]
Shutting down sm-client: [FAILED]
The submission agent wasn't running.
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
I didn't get any complaints.
[user@FC4FW share]$ m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Not the correct command syntax.
You omitted the ">".
This was the syntax I was told to use to append changes to my .cf file.
If this isn't right what do I use? I had no clue about the previous
command you gave me to generate the sendmail.cf file correctly.
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Better use the make command (which makes use of the Makefile inside
/etc/mail) and catches more than just the .mc file changes, too the
hashed map files.

I will see how I can use the make command. I don't know how the syntax
changes from using that vs the m4 command. I will see what I can find
on it. Thanks for all the help
