sendmail configuration
 
I am trying to configure sendmail in suse linux 10.1

In /etc/mail i found only

MYSUSE:/etc/mail # ls
Makefile certs linux.nullclient.mc sendmail.cf trusted-users
README domaintable linux.submit.mc service-nodns.switch userdb
access domaintable.db local-host-names service.switch userdb.db
access.db genericstable mailertable spamassassin virtusertable
aliases genericstable.db mailertable.db statistics virtusertable.db
auth linux.mc relay-domains submit.cf



What about sendmail.mc and cf file

Can some one explain me


Thanks

The configuration process is basically a matter of creating a suitable sendmail.mc file that includes macros that describe your desired configuration. The macros are expressions that the m4 macro processor understands and expands into the complex sendmail.cf syntax. The macro expressions are made up of the macro name (the text in capital letters at the start), which can be likened to a function in a programming language, and some parameters (the text within brackets) that are used in the expansion. The parameters may be passed literally into the sendmail.cf output or may be used to govern the way the macro processing occurs.
