Configuring Sendmail for Brightmail Scanner with M4
There are two ways to configure Sendmail to work with Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam.
You can either edit the sendmail.cf file, or you can use m4 to generate a new sendmail.cf
file. This section covers what you need to know to use m4 to configure Sendmail. To use
the sendmail.cf file, refer to
“Configuring Sendmail for Brightmail Scanner with
sendmail.cf,” on page 40
.
NOTE:
Before completing this procedure, make sure you have followed the instructions in
“Enable Sendmail External Filtering,” on page 17

If you are using an
m4
file, instead of editing
sendmail.cf
, you should edit your
m4
file to
include the following command, and regenerate your
sendmail.cf
file as usual. This
command must come after any
MAILER
line(s).
Also, see
“Understanding the Filter Address and Optional Settings,” on page 33
