ok - I run the following and sendmail is using /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

$ sendmail -d0.10 | grep "Conf file"
     Conf file: /etc/mail/submit.cf (default for MSP)
     Conf file: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (default for MTA)
     Conf file: /etc/mail/submit.cf (selected)

Why is it when I run the following the mail is relayed via the
old_smart_host:

$ date | sendmail -v -t gjkeenan@lucent.com
gjkeenan@lucent.com... Connecting to localhost.anz.lucent.com. via relay...

And if I force it to use /etc/mail/sendmail.cf it delivers via the
new_smart_host?

$ date | sendmail -C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf -v -t gjkeenan@lucent.com
gjkeenan@lucent.com... Connecting to outbound-email.lucent.com via relay...

Both commands you have to assume are using the same sendmail.cf so what is
the difference when I force it with the -C option?

Subject: What sendmail.cf?


Hi,

NetBSD 2.0
Sendmail 8.12.11

Can't work out what config file sendmail is using.  I changed SMART_HOST in
sendmail.mc compiled it and I have the new DS<new_smart_host.com> in
sendmail.cf as expected.

I restart sendmail but mail goes via the old_smart_host.  When I start
sendmail and force it to use the new sendmail.cf file with the
-C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf option mail is ralayed through the new_smart_host.

There is no sendmail.cf or link in /etc

How can I find out what config file sendmail is using?

Appreciate your help.

Regards,
Greg
