Yes, but in the past, you could set NO_SENDMAIL in /etc/make.conf so it wouldn't be built as part of the base system, and then build and install one from the ports. That generally got you the latest-n-greatest version. Or, allowed you to install a down-rev'd version if needed for compatibility on your network. And the one in the ports collection has gone missing since I last Or, And perhaps I've been hallucinating again and it never was a port. But if so, why isn't it? We've got ports for things like Adobe Acrobat, which only fetch and install a binary. We surely could fetch and build sendmail from Sendmail.org. -crl -- Chad R.
