>Description:

	The make procedure for the smail port (/usr/ports/mail/smail)
	outputs a suggestion to the user to enter "make replace" to
	replace sendmail on the system. A "make replace" actually does
	replace /usr/sbin/sendmail, which is nowadays a symlink to
	mailwrapper. The right action would be to replace the
	/etc/mail/mailer.conf with a version pointing to smail,
	at least at systems using mailwrapper (FreeBSD >= 4.x ?).


>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/mail/smail
	make install
	make replace

>Fix:

	Change Makefile to replace /etc/mail/mailer.conf instead of
	/usr/sbin/sendmail on calling "make replace", if the former exists.
