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 3–8.
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.
