The `make world' idea is a nice thing, but it will probably leave a few
things out. So, let me see if I can come up with a more detailed list
of things to do in order to restore sendmail.
Unless you are erasing your /usr/obj tree after a successful run of
`make installworld' like I am doing almost all the time, you could just:
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
and all the binaries for sendmail will be put in the right place [ that
is, unless you have NO_SENDMAIL=yes in your /etc/make.conf ].
Then, you have to restore the configuration files of sendmail and
related programs, such as mailwrapper, in /etc. Things that I would
check out include:
* If you're using mailwrapper, then you might have to copy a new
mailer.conf in /etc/mail and edit it appropriatelly.
* Check out if inetd.conf includes a line that fires up qmail-smtpd.
This can stop your sendmail from binding port 25 for receiving
incoming mail through SMTP.
* Check the /etc/rc* scripts and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* to make sure
that you don't have any programs related to qmail started
automagically the next time you boot.
