I don't see how this could be true (unless mergemaster did something).
The 'install' target in /usr/src/etc/sendmail/Makefile only installs a .cf
file:
install: ${INSTALL_CF}
.if (defined(SENDMAIL_MC) && defined(SENDMAIL_CF))
@echo ">>> ERROR: Both SENDMAIL_CF and SENDMAIL_MC can not be set"
@false
.endif
.if defined(INSTALL_CF)
.if ${INSTALL_CF} != ${DEST_CF}
${INSTALL} ${COPY} -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m 644 ${INSTALL_CF} \
${DEST_CF}
.endif
.endif
There is nothing there to overwrite a .mc file.
/usr/src/etc/mail/Makefile is not used during installworld. However, even
if you later did a 'make install' in /etc/mail, `hostname`.mc is only put
in place if it doesn't already exist:
.ifndef SENDMAIL_MC
SENDMAIL_MC!= hostname
SENDMAIL_MC:= ${SENDMAIL_MC}.mc
${SENDMAIL_MC}: freebsd.mc
cp freebsd.mc ${SENDMAIL_MC}
.endif
