Subject:   Sendmail startup, oddness in /etc/rc
Message-ID:  <20020215225227.GA275@raggedclown.net>

Hello,
While investigating how to delay the startup of my mail system until
later in the boot process I discovered something a bit odd. I use
postfix, and it is all setup as it is supposed to with the mail
wrapper etc. I thought I would check how it is started in /etc/rc.

However "sendmail_enable" set to "YES" in /etc/rc.conf does not work
unless it finds /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ! This surely cannot be correct
except for users of (the real) sendmail.

I suppose it is harmless, but if you use another MTA what do you need
sendmail.cf for ?

Cliff
