If I reboot the system, I get the following errors in /var/log/console.log: Dec 13 17:38:59 guru kernel: Starting sshd. Dec 13 17:39:00 guru kernel: sendmail: illegal option -- L Dec 13 17:39:00 guru kernel: sendmail: usage: sendmail [ -t ] [ -fsender ] [ -Fname ] [ -bp ] [ -bs ] [ arg ... ] I'm getting those errors because sendmail is set to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail in /etc/mail/mailer.conf. Since I'm running qmail, sendmail should be run *at all* at startup. The really strange thing is that if I shutdown and then restart the system, without a reboot, I don't see these error messages. I've traced this down to the sendmail_msp_queue_enable variable in /etc/rc.conf. If set to yes, that invokes sendmail with the -L option. There don't appear to be any currently filed bugs related to this issue, and google didn't turn up anything relevant. I'm running the GENERIC kernel. I've attached my /etc/rc.conf in case something there is pertinent. Any hints as to what would cause this - especially with the two different behaviors - would be greatly appreciated.
