+ Hello to all,

+ sendmail_enable="NONE" doesn't appear in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Can
+ anyone update this file to include "NONE" option?

+ Thanke very much,

Presuming you are running some variant of FreeBSD 5.- and
you are intending to disable sendmail, add the following
to /etc/rc.conf:
### get rid of sendmail ###
mta_start_script="" # 2917: block their startup stealth attack
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
(best not to modify /etc/defaults/rc.conf)
and add the following to /etc/make.conf:
NO_MAILWRAPPER= YES
NO_SENDMAIL= YES
I have not checked recently, but 'make installworld' has
always trashed files:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/bin/mailq
/usr/bin/newaliases
which, in the default, are symbolic links to
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper.
Using postfix which installs its own /usr/sbin/sendmail
which is a program, not a symbolic link, I:
cd /usr/sbin
mv sendmail postmail
ln -s postmail sendmail
which is a lot easier to repair after 'make
installworld' trashes /usr/sbin/sendmail (postfix). If
you rename postfix' sendmail to postmail, the following
script run after 'make installworld' cleans up the failings
of installworld to not touch a sendmail clean world:
# waste sendmail
stomp() {
cd ${DESTDIR}/usr/libexec
rm -f sendmail/*
cd ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin
rm -f mailq newaliases
ln -s ${DESTDIR}/usr/sbin/sendmail mailq
ln -s ${DESTDIR}/usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases
cd ${DESTDIR}/usr/sbin
rm -f sendmail mailwrapper
ln -s postmail sendmail
}
DESTDIR is normally blank; it is used to build a
non '/' based distribution set
If you are using an MTA other than postfix, the above is
still valid. _theoretically_, you can mix/match and use
postfix to receive and sendmail to send, or vice versa,
but that is another chapter....
