Sendmail: help with main.mc

dangral · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2009

We compile the sendmail.cf file using main.mc. I have managed to place all of our configuration options in main.mc without a problem, with the exception of one.

I want to have the HelpFile commented out by default in sendmail.cf. How can I instruct main.mc to place an entry for HelpFile in sendmail.cf, but leave it commented out, like so:

Quote:

#O HelpFile=/etc/mail/helpfile

I don't think this is possible, and it won't help because I think that is the default which will be used if none is specified. (That's an educated guess). However, you can simply set the HelpFile to /dev/null using like this (tested):

Code:

define(`HELP_FILE', `/dev/null')dnl
