The other day, I though I would install smail. So I went to
/usr/ports/mail/smail, and did
a make, make install. Everything seemed to work fine. Unfortunately,
I quickly decided
that I liked sendmail better. I went back into the smail ports
directory, and did a make deinstall.
Here is where my problems started. I'm running 3.3-Release #1. When
sendmail
runs on bootup, I get this error message.

sendmail: main: bad stat() of smail binary /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

Which confuses me, because the sendmail binary is in /usr/sbin/ not
/usr/local/sbin.
And the smail part of the error message makes me think I did something
wrong
in the process of deinstalling it. I made a symlink to point from
/usr/local/sbin/sendmail to
/usr/sbin/sendmail. It seemed to fix the error, but I didn't really want
to do that, because,
err, it seemed broken to me. Where did I go wrong?
Thanks in advanced,

Jeff
