Since the base system includes mail(1) too, and Sendmail has been the standard interface for local submission (so standard that other MTAs have adopted the same command line for local mail submission), I think that rc.mail might be more confusing than rc.sendmail. Having the ability to call this file anything the administrator likes (for instance rc.mta or rc.mailserver), by using mta_start_script makes all this a little less important too, right? - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
