When trying to use the Sendmail M4 configuration I get the message that the'Sendmail M4 base directory' cannot be found or is incorrect.
Where is it meant to be and what does it contain?
Is it the directory containing the sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc files or is it something to do with M4 itself?
Any help gratefully accepted:)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
From memory, /etc/mail for newer sendmail versions and /etc for older sendmail versions.
You should have the sendmail.mc file, which is what Webmin is looking for.

I have tried various directories, the sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc files are in /etc/mail yet not recognised.
Is this a bug?
If not what is meant to go here?

This directory is part of the source, on my system it is
/usr/local/src/sendmail-8.12.9
the cf directory being as shown on the next line
/usr/local/src/sendmail-8.12.9/cf/m4/cf.m4
Hope this helps.

i cant seem to get this working, and it's really hurting my head,, lol.
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /etc/mail was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect.
now, i KNOW it's there, becasue i can go an edit it manualy ( if i knew what all the options were in there, and i dont )

heres my dir.
[root@localhost mail]# ls /etc/mail
access helpfile Makefile statistics virtusertable
access.db local-host-names sendmail.cf submit.cf virtusertable.db
domaintable mailertable sendmail.cw submit.mc
domaintable.db mailertable.db sendmail.mc trusted-users
i even have the M4 full path to file set, and it's there.... so i dont know.
any advice?
It took me the better part of the evening, but by following the trace in the CGI, i finally understood what the script was expecting...:
/usr/share/sendmail/cf
... the directory that contain a subdirectory called m4, itself containing the so called 'features' ... arg!
Hope this will help others... I'm using sendmail+webmin in debian.
