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. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
