First off, cd into /etc/mail and type "make all". This will generate a
$HOSTNAME.mc file. Next, add:

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `mail.local -l -B -b')

To the end of this file, then type "make all" again. This will generate a
$HOSTNAME.cf file. Copy this file to sendmail.cf and type "make restart".
