There is a problem using sendmail with milters, which usually lives in /usr/local/* and starts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* Currently, sendmail starts before them, which produce this example diagnostic: Starting sendmail. WARNING: Xsentinel: local socket name /var/spool/sentinel/sentinel.socket missing WARNING: Xantivir-milter: local socket name /var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock missing When they starts afterwards, situation normalizes, but there is a gap between, where whole system can reject or do something potentially wrong with messages. Since converting each milter startup script under rc.subr technology is painful task, what about starting sendmail _after_ /etc/rc.d/localpkg starts? I see no drawback in that case. -- Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/
