When I tried to create the back up I got the following message: [Chazans-Computer:/private/etc/mail] chazan% sudo cp -p sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.bak cp: sendmail.cf: No such file or directory So, then I tried checking the contents of the directory: [Chazans-Computer:/private/etc/mail] chazan% ls access access.db It seems I don't have sendmail.cf altogether. Any suggestions of how to obtain it. I installed Panther recently, would that have anything to do with it. Thank you!

  I had the same prob. I am assuming you guys are using Panther rather than Jaguar. Apple has replaced sendmail with PostFix hense the missing configurations. Postfix does offer a sendmail-ish interface (including the sendmail command). For more info log-on to www DOT postfix DOT org

  I don't even have a /private/etc/mail directory! I'm not totally sure, but it seems that Panther comes with a new built-in mail server called postfix instead of sendmail.
  
  BTW: I know that this article is about learning how to use the terminal. But if you want to set up your sendmail the easy way, try http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12310
