Actually, I don't think that make and makemap are at all
related. makemap builds some kind of database somewhere on the system with
the file you specify. This database is accessed by sendmail. It is faster
that way when you start having humongous alias and generics tables that
are incredibly long. The database method becomes much faster in those
instances. So in short to answer you, no, make and makemap are
unrelated. make is the c compiler and makemap is a database builder.
Hope that was helpful in some way.
