It's going to "complain", a little anyway, in the same way as it would do if you had installed the MTA manually as a port/package, and set the appropriate options to make it work (mainly mailer.conf, periodic.conf and newsyslog). I don't think it is possible (with the way mergemaster is supposed to work) to teach it about this kind of changes. You could probably make a pre compare script, and use that on your systems, but I havn't tried to do that. --=20 Simon L.
