>Description:
Sendmail has a separate 'submit' queue; and the daily periodic
scripts contain code to check both queues. 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
