Contents of the /etc/mail/cf Directory
Within the /etc/mail directory is a subdirectory, cf, that contains all of the necessary files to build a sendmail.cf file. The content of cf is shown in Table 14–9.
Starting in the Solaris 10 release, to support a read-only /usr file system, the content of the /usr/lib/mail directory has been moved to the /etc/mail/cf directory. Note, however, these exceptions. The shell scripts /usr/lib/mail/sh/check-hostname and /usr/lib/mail/sh/check-permissions are now in the /usr/sbin directory. See Other Files Used for Mail Services. For backward compatibility, symbolic links point to each file's new location.
