I'm getting an error when I try to install sendmail.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,
Jason

It's usually a good idea to regenerate the sendmail.cf configuration
file with each new spin of the sendmail package.

But, if you hand edited it instead of making changes through sendmail.mc,
then you want to say no, save your old sendmail.cf, run sendmailconfig,
then migrate your changes into the new version.

/usr/share/sendmail/updatedb assumes that databases, and their source datasets
have the same base name (not counting the .db).  If this is not
true, /usr/share/sendmail/updatedb can not rebuild your databases to make sure
they will work with the newer sendmail.  You will have to do this
yourself - before starting sendmail.
