Sendmail: Make doesn't make sendmail.cf from sendmail.mc

[Jerry Feldman]

I just looked at make, and there is NOT a default make.
for target; do
  case "$target" in
    *.db)
      makedb "$target"
      ;;
    *.cf)
      makecf "$target"
      ;;
    all)
      makeall
      ;;
    aliases)
      makealiasesdb
      ;;
    clean)
      rm -f *.db *~ aliasesdb-stamp
      ;;
    start|stop|restart)
      service sendmail "$target"
      ;;
    *)
      echo "Don't know how to make $target"
      exit 2
  esac
done
