As we are on the -stable list, I speak for stable: I did a cvsup yesterday
to and today made buildworld and installworld and my /etc/sendmail.cf
wasn't replaced by one of those procedures and I haven't configured
something special. (And I haven't seen something like that for more than
three years now - I have seen sendmail's barking update cf files that were
to new because I forgot to disable building and installing sendmail during
making the world and I had updated it meanwhile, but no change of the cf
file itself.)

Maybe, it's something different in -current.

Huh? Sendmail doesn't eat a plain .mc file so it cannot be a runtime
option. Sendmail needs a "compiled" (or hand-written :-) ) cf file.
Same game, perhaps it has changed in -current, as there is also a wrapper
for dealing with other default MTAs then sendmail and sendmail
configuration files move to /etc/mail, IIRR.

Martin
