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. - giorgos keramidas < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
