JFYI. After I found out about periodic.conf (actually I have to admit I didn't know about it when I sent the PR) and that the problematic check can be switched off with it, the PR could be closed... would be nice, tho, if the blahblah_submit_mailq thing would be "NO" by default or the postfix port issue a message upon installation to inform one where to look for necessary changes (something like "have a look at periodic.conf for sendmail-specific mailq checks" would be ok.) --mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
