Sendmail config change for AIX 5

All,

Here is a comment from the sendmail source code. These changes are in
sendmail under AIX 5L.

sendmail 8.9 has introduced a new configuration directory for sendmail
related files, /etc/mail. The new files available for sendmail 8.9 -- the
class {R} /etc/mail/relay-domains and the access database /etc/mail/access
-- take advantage of this new directory. Beginning with 8.10, all files
will use this directory by default (some options may be set by OSTYPE()
files). This new directory should help to restore uniformity to sendmail's
file locations.

Summary: The sendmail.cf for AIX 5L is now /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. I just
wasted several hours tracing down a mail problem, only to find this out.

Regards, Bill.
