Why won't sendmail start?

Question

linux

Hello. Trying to connect rspamd to sendmail
Adding lines to the /etc/mail/sendmail.conf file according to the documentation

MAIL_FILTER(`rspamd', `S=inet:localhost:11332, F=T')
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `rspamd')

Sendmail crashes on restart

[email protected]:~$ sudo service sendmail restart
Job for sendmail.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status sendmail.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Answer 1

Problem solved. It turns out that these lines should have been written in /etc/sendmail/sendmail.mc , and not in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf , and then run the command m4 sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cfand restart sendmail

Well, he writes to you that quotes are not closed somewhere. I have a doubt about the back quotes, in theory they should be straight.
