The following reply was made to PR conf/29699; it has been noted by GNATS.

 One more thing I noticed here: When using the above Makefile and
 NO_MAILWRAPPER is set and the link /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
 /usr/sbin/mailwrapper exists, sendmail gets installed as
 /usr/sbin/mailwrapper:
 
 andre@voyager:/usr/sbin>ll sendmail mailwrapper      
 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 371756 Aug 14 20:35 mailwrapper*
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  -     21 Aug 14 20:34 sendmail@ -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
 
 I don't understand this since man install says:
 
 -S      Safe copy.  Normally, install unlinks an existing target before
         installing the new file.  With the -S flag a temporary file is
         used and then renamed to be the target.  The reason this is safer
         is that if the copy or rename fails, the existing target is left
         untouched.
 
 The -S option is not used during the install, so the file should get
 unlinked before but this is obviously not the case. I have helped myself
 with the following, additional path to usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile:
 
 --- Makefile.ORI	Sat Aug  4 09:07:27 2001
 +++ Makefile	Tue Aug 14 20:40:36 2001

 +.if defined(NO_MAILWRAPPER) && exists(/usr/sbin/sendmail)
 +beforeinstall:
 +	@rm /usr/sbin/sendmail
 +.endif

  afterinstall:
  	@if [ -d ${DESTDIR}/etc/mail -a -f ${DESTDIR}/etc/sendmail.cf -a \
  	      ! -f ${DESTDIR}/etc/mail/sendmail.cf ]; then \
 
 
 I assume there are better ways of doing this -- or install is broken.
