[ILUG] null client configuration for sendmail

[Walter Faleiro]

Hi Badger,
There are linux systems working fine with the configuration just fine. I am
trying to add a few more. But unfortunately I cannot see a correlation
between the steps you provided and the working configuration. As I said it
works fine from the host splendor, which is linux 7.2.


Following is the output from splendor that is working fine

 mail -v walter
Subject: test mail

Null message body; hope that's ok

Are there any other files other than sendmail.mc, .cf, submit.cf and aliases
that I should look into?
