What you're missing is that /usr/sbin/sendmail as installed during a ``make world'' isn't sendmail. It's mailwrapper(8). Although I'll be adding a "NO_MAILWRAPPER" knob to make.conf, you don't need it. You just need to read up on how mailwrapper works. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, since mailwrappper makes those icky symlinks completely unnecessary. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
