<para>Before building sendmail, we need to create users, groups and
directories that sendmail uses with the following commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>groupadd smmsp &amp;&amp;
groupadd mail &amp;&amp;
useradd -g smmsp -G mail smmsp &amp;&amp;
chmod 1777 /tmp &amp;&amp;
chmod 1777 /var/mail &amp;&amp;
mkdir /var/spool/mqueue</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Install sendmail with the following commands:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; devtools/Site/site.config.m4 &lt;&lt; "EOF"
define(`confMANGRP',`root')
define(`confMANOWN',`root')
define(`confSBINGRP',`root')
define(`confUBINGRP',`root')
define(`confUBINOWN',`root')
