Have been learning FreeBSD since version 2.2.6, not a newbie but not an
expert. Have been able to install and upgrade software and OS from source
and ports previously
OS version: 4.4 Release
Sendmail: 8.11.6
I have learning Sendmail for about a year using 8..11.6. Had no problems
setting up, etc.
Wanted, or thought I should upgrade to 8.12.6 to try and learn about
implement milter stuff.
1. CVSUP'd Sendmail 8.12.6 port a few days ago.
2. ran make in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
3. read and followed the INSTALL instructions and associated README files.
When I rebooted by system, 8.11.6 was still running.
I can run 8.12.6 manually.
Where I am confused:
8.11.6 install was
sendmail executable in /usr/libexec/sendmail/
usr/sbin/sendmail was pointer to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
mailer.conf pointed to /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
rc.conf reflected 8.11.6 flags, etc
after 8.12.6 install complete
sendmail executable in /usr/local/sbin/
Is 4.4R too old to use 8.12.6 port?
Is port install supposed to update rc.conf?
Is port install supposed to utilize mailwrapper.
Are install directories different now? , I searched and could not find answer.
Have I missed a document or step? or maybe my lack of understanding.
In desperation I tried std port install instructions:
Make in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
Make install in /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
Received the following:
===> Installing for sendmail-8.12.6_1
