The code to check the submit queue can be bypassed by a configuration option in periodic.conf. But none of this is obvious to someone who is installing an alternate MTA; and leads to complaints about the unrecognized '-Ac' command-line param. Adding a mention of the periodic option to the mailer.conf(5) and/or mailwrapper(8) man pages would make that knob much easier to find. (Note that I am also submitting a separate request to update the POST-INSTALL-NOTES in the exim port.) >How-To-Repeat: Install an alternate MTA that doesn't recognize '-Ac' (e.g., exim) and run /etc/periodic/daily/440.status-mailq >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
