I just linked it in because I was trying to fix everything in sight. I really don't know if it is necessary but it can't hurt and you never know with sendmail when it will be needed if it isn't now. The above and the super port of /usr/ports/mail/courier 37.2 by Yarema <yds@CoolRat.org>, that just works out of the box, has convenced me to switch to courier and openldap. After many years of Sendmail, I'm tired of it, uw-imap, pam, and no more mail or ftp users in etc/passwd. ed > > Evren > > On Mon, 28 Jan 2002, Edwin Culp wrote: > > > > > Does wrapper also need to be linked to /usr/libexec/sm.bin.
