I can't say exactly how long, but my guess is that it broke when I upgraded to RELENG_5_0. This is how sendmail is invoked (by default) and it's output. # sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost 451 4.0.0 No local mailer defined: Bad address 554 5.0.0 QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set The same thing happens if I change "localhost" to "127.0.0.1". I suspect that the second error (554) will disappear when I get rid of the first one (451). Does anyone know why it might be misbehaving like this?
