Huh?

I didn't have to merge rc.conf, it didn't replace it!
I don't use sendmail.cf as I use and prefer qmail will the almost 30 domains this
machine hosts.

What I had to do though was take care of sendmail and remake the link to qmail's
sendmail. That was all as far as I remember...
Haven't noticed any problems since the upgrade...

Don't worry, be Kneppie!
