Heh. After my upgrade broke sendmail, I installed a second box and found
that the local mail worked on a clean install. After diff'ing binaries,
checking directory permissions, I discovered that the only difference
was the cf file. Had a look at /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc, and
found the 2 magic lines.
It should have been a FAQ!
Cheers.
