Yep, another person w/like issue here. Simply have forgotten all this in sendmail over the years. I tried to follow the below example, and add a new feature to the Sendmail M4 Configuration, but it did not work. Can someone who as done this, please put in the exact line added from: Sendmail M4 Configuration -> Add new entyr of type -> select Feature Next add parameter: `genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db' When saved it looked like this: FEATURE(`domaintable',``genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db'') And it did not work. Any help appreciated.
