Problems with Sendmail AUTH and TLS
Greetings.

I desperately need help to get my sendmail configuration working again.

I followed this guide:
Unmemorable Memories » Blog Archive » Enabling SMTP-AUTH for Sendmail on Debian Linux 3.1
to enable TLS and AUTH in sendmail and now I get an error I just cannot find any information about on the great wise internet.
Code:
server:/etc/mail# make
make: *** No rule to make target `/etc/mail/tls/starttls.m4′', needed by `/etc/mail/databases'. Stop.

I can find no reference anywhere on how to solve it and when I check my Makefile it seems to me (I'm have very little knowledge about Makefiles) that everything should be OK in it.

Please please help me!

You might start giving us a chance: post the (relevant parts of the) makefile and we might find out. Is there a rule to make target "/etc/mail/tls/starttls.m4" or what makes you think there should be no problem?

I hope this helps.
