In general the biggest change that needs to be made is to have
something like /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m run at startup. I don't
know if you'll have to hack on sendmail.cf at all. I did to get
sendmail 8.6.4 running under SOLARIS. Only if you do should you need
to set NEWMAILCF to false. (Are we even using rc.conf under linux?)
Your milage may vary.

Since they have the default Athena sendmail.cf, I believe that it'll
be sufficient to have an account in /etc/passwd, or to diddle the
aliases file directly. They may also need to change NEWMAILCF in
/etc/athena/rc.conf and possibly some other things, but I don't know
if anything is actually using that variable. For more info, you can
just look at the mkserv add scripts for mail in the mkserv locker.,
but here's the current version:
mkserv mail is generally broken, part of autumn's UROP is fixing
mkserv scripts tho. You might try /mit/vrt/UNIX/mail2.add (I think).

(note lack of sun support; Jonathon had to do some work to get it to
work on TOW, I believe.)
