Re: [cobalt-users] Sendmail 8.9.3 and ORDB

["Mike's List" <mikelist@xxxxxxx>]

Yup, the instructions at the page is very straight forward, but this is
8.9.3 --ie. manually installed by previous admin, now manage by me, there's
no documents or such, just "notes" within files.  Example: access file,
makedbm access access at the prompt after you make any changes.

There's not much to go on, it's not Raq sendmail installation.  I managed
other raq4 and I can find all the .mc files etc. just fine, just not
this particular one.
