If one receives mails via UUCP and uses qmail as the MTA, installing recent stable/current with sendmail 8.12.x or making world without `NO_SENDMAIL=true' may be a problem because /var/qmail/bin/sendmail called from new rmail always returns an error. >How-To-Repeat: Install recent stable or current with sendmail 8.12.x. Use qmail as MTA with mailwrapper. Receive mail via UUCP. >Fix: /bin/rmail is a program that should be provided by MTA. For example, if one uses qmail as the MTA, /bin/rmail should be replaced by /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. As FreeBSD uses mailwrapper to make MTA alteration easy, /bin/rmail is another program that deserves configuration by /etc/mail/mailer.conf. No patch provided due to my poor ability in programming. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
