Setting up sendmail (8.12.3-4) ...
A new sendmail user, welcome!

Sendmail is a powerful MTA, and you may find the sendmail-doc package
useful in the configuration phase. You should find even the few files
in /usr/share/doc/sendmail useful - they note recent Sendmail and Debian
changes, along with information on the features present in this package.

Saving current /etc/mail/sendmail.mc,cf to /var/backups
It is a good idea to regenerate the sendmail configuration
file with each new spin of the sendmail package.
But, if you hand edit sendmail.cf instead of making changes through
sendmail.mc, then you want to say no, save your old sendmail.cf, run
sendmailconfig, then migrate your changes into the new version.
Automagically regenerate the sendmail.cf configuration file? (Y/n) y
Updating sendmail environment ...
Moving /var/log/mail.* to /var/log/mail/mail.*
You will need to adjust any log reading scripts accordingly
Checking for installed MDAs...
Adding link for newly extant program (mail.local)

SASL not installed, not configuring sendmail support.
To enable sendmail SASL support at a later date, invoke "/usr/share/sendmail/update_auth"
OpenSSL is not installed, will not configure sendmail support for it.
To enable sendmail TLS support at a later date, invoke "/usr/share/sendmail/update_tls"
Updating /etc/hosts.allow, adding "sendmail: all".
Please edit /etc/hosts.allow and check the rules location to
make sure your security measures have not been overridden -
it is common to move the sendmail:all line to the *end* of
the file, so your more selective rules take precedence.
