I am trying to change the daemon options for sendmail 8.11.2 so that i can run it on a different listen port (say 2025). i have managed with another version of sendmail (8.9.3) by putting this
Code:
define(`confDAEMON_OPTIONS',`Port=2025,Addr=127.0.0.1')
in the sendmail.mc file, but when i try to recompile the mc file with m4 it says this:
Code:
WARNING: confDAEMON_OPTIONS is no longer valid.  See cf/README for more information.
what have i done wrong?

its probably something stupid.. please help me.

Add and/or edit this line in your sendmail.mc file.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=12.233.180.8, Name=MTA')

Usually this is near the bottom.

 
thanks mate. thats what i wanted. i should have looked properly. i'm sure that wasnt there in 8.9.3
