We did not see your .m4 to go with the error messages.


Since you are installing sendmail 8.11.0 from pkg I take it
you are running something other than 1.5ALPHA2 or -current
as to why you need a newer version of sendmail from what is
shipped in base.tgz?

It would be better to get the old version of sendmail
going first, then when you have a working setup you
should find it easy to upgrade.


Sendmail has a plethora of debugging options.
