  + 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....
