Not on my copy it's not.  GNU make doesn't understand .include <xxx>
lines.

 : In general, you untar/gz the archive, enter the "src/Makefiles" directory,
 : make any required changes to "Makefile.Linux", step back one directory and
 : run "makesendmail".  Yes, it's *that* simple.

I've done that, what I mean by installing is I want to make sure of a
couple of things:
    1. that I don't miss any files when I'm installing, like the
       config file or help file for example
    2. that I put things in the place that they're supposed to be, for
       example aren't the locations of the config etc files hard coded
       into sendmail?

This is why I want to automate the install process by typing "make install"
or something similar.  So my question is, did you simply hand copy all
the files or did you somehow automate the installation process, and if
so, how?

Another question: Is there some config file method of:
    a) stopping the version being printed on an smtp connection
    b) disabling the EXPN command
    c) disabling help

or do I have to hack out the code?

Lastly, are other programs, like newaliases (which I know is just sendmail
with particular options) supposed to be built from the sendmail
distribution?
