Why ?  What problem do you have ?

Anyway, forget that, and follow these simple steps:

untar the file:

tar -xzf sendmail.8.8.6.tar.gz
cd sendmail-8.8.6/src

Then edit the Makefiles/Makefile.Linux  (I think)

in there, change the -D flags, from -DGDBM to -DNEWDB
then, look in the file for -l , and change it from what is is to -ldb
Then, look for kmem, and change it to bin , and look for 6755 and change
it to 4755.

save the file

Then, in the sendmail-8.8.6/src directory, run:

./makesendmail
after it finishes compiling, run
./makesendmail install

Then, do killall -TERM sendmail, and run /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 15m

check that the installation didn't leave a /usr/sbin/sendmail.* (* stand
for something). If it did, then:

chmod 0000 /usr/sbin/sendmail.* (* here stands for something)
