At least in the case of the new mailer being smail (installed from ports), /bin/rmail no longer works. I did not check the details, maybe it calls sendmail with options not supported by smail. The mailwrapper(8) man-page gives no caveat about /bin/rmail. >How-To-Repeat: Install smail from ports; do NOT "make replace" (this tries to overwrite sendmail instead of using mailwrapper) and configure /etc/mail/mailer.conf to use smail. >Fix: Delete /bin/rmail and tell uucp to use /usr/local/bin/rmail. Add a warning about /bin/rmail to BUGS-Section of mailwrapper -manpage. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
