activate some features like File Status Map in sendmail In devtools/Site/site.config.m4 you must add the following line APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF',`-DFSTATMAP') you can do it with USE or directly in site.config.m4 tanks a lot. with this option we can check if a mbox/directory/user exist on cyrus imap server. cf this url http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/fstatmap.html http://anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/rtcyrus2.html emerge --info Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsyncserver/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acl adns apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 crypt cups curl dri eds emboss encode expat fam foomaticdb fortran gdbm geoip gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 idn imlib java jpeg lcms lzw lzw-tiff mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl snmp spell ssl tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales xml2 xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Sorry, as useful as it sounds we won't just add random patches to sendmail. Moreover, from the web site: WARNING (2010-03-27): The sendmail source code patch is too old for use without very carefull checks. It is provided here mainly for archival purposes.
