>Description:
When sendmail_enable is set to YES then in /etc/rc before that
is honoured a check is made to see if /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
exists. This check means that if you use an MTA other than
sendmail (e.g. Postfix) and remove sendmail.cf then the MTA
will not be started up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Remove or rename sendmail.cf on a system with an alternate
MTA.
>Fix:
Change check as in the diff below (or remove check altogether).
