Hi, all I found /etc/rc.d/sendmail does not work in default. To make use of sendmail, I had to be done with `cp /usr/share/examples/sendmail/mailer.conf /etc/mail'. I saw why default MTA changed to dma: commit a67b925ff3e58b072a60b633e442ee1d33e47f7f Author: Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> Date: Thu Oct 13 11:37:21 2022 +0200 mail: make The Dragonfly Mail Agent (dma) the default mta. dma accepts mail from a local Mail User Agent (MUA) and delivers it locally or to a smarthost for delivery. dma does not accept inbound mail (i.e., it does not listen on port 25) and is not intended to provide the same functionality as a full MTA like postfix or sendmail. It is intended for use cases such as delivering cron(8) mail. which is the default configuration and usage of sendmail in the default setup of the base system. In order to switch the default from sendmail to dma, we teach mailwrapper to fallback on dma directly if the mailer.conf file cannot be opened. We install by default a mailer.conf file which points at dma We install a mailer.conf file for sendmail in the examples. Relnotes: yes Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37035 But there are nothing pointers to be changed default MTA changed to dma from sendmail ;-( Especially people who daily use sendmail with `service sendmail start', "Starting sendmail" message was shown but nothing done ;-) There should be announced that default MTA is dma when sendmail start ? --- Kazuhiko Kiriyama
