>Organization:
Trost Computing
>Environment:

	Upgrade was from a snapshot of 3.4-stable, probably from December.

>Description:

	When FreeBSD is upgraded, sendmail is installed on top of the qmail
	installation.  This wouldn't be a big problem if it didn't actually
	try to start delivering mail (and failing miserably, at least for me).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Uhh...I'd start by installing the qmail port, and then upgrading
	FreeBSD.   (-:

>Fix:

	Remove spoon from cup.  Reinstalling the qmail port after deinstalling
	it seems to clear things up.

	Really, I don't know what the right solution is.  One big help might
	be a warning to the effect of "hey, dummy, sendmail is a symlink --
	if you use some other MTA, you might make sure to reinstall it before
	going into multi-user mode."

	Don't forget rmail, too -- that was the one that bit me (although it
	is not technically part of qmail).
