    I'm having a problem building a sendmail 8.11 configuration on SCO
    Openserver 5.0.7. I currenlty have 8.11.0 running, but am having
    trouble incorporating the dnsbl features. I downloaded the 8.11.6.tar
    source file from sendmail.org, and have been trying to compile it with
    m4. Whenever I do, I get the following error: "You may need a newer
    version of M4, at least as new as System V or GNU... error 69". I'm
    getting this when I run 'sh Build'. I'm wondering if the problem lies
    with the location/configuration of an .m4 file in the sendmail source
    directory /devtools/Site. I'm unclear as to what file I should have
    in this directory. As of right now, I'm trying to get it working, but
    using a generic-sco.mc file (/usr/lib/sendmail.d) from my 8.11.0
    installation, but am uncertain as to whether this is correct or not.

    If there's anyone who can assist me with instructions on how to
    implement the dnsbl FEATURE into my existing sendmail configuration,
    or get my 8.11.6 to compile properly, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    Thanks!
    Paul
