I'm removing sendmail entirely from an installed system. I had WITHOUT_SENDMAIL in /etc/src.conf when I updated to RELENG_8_3, but that left an old version of sendmail rotting away on disk. This is the list I have so far: /etc/mail/* (excluding mailer.conf) /etc/rc.d/sendmail /usr/bin/vacation /usr/libexec/mail.local /usr/libexec/sendmail /usr/libexec/smrsh /usr/sbin/editmap /usr/sbin/mailstats /usr/sbin/makemap /usr/sbin/praliases /usr/share/sendmail /var/spool/clientmqueue /var/spool/mqueue Is this list complete? I'm intentionally leaving the stuff for mailwrapper. I'm ok with leaving /etc/rc.d/sendmail behind as well, but it looks like it's not needed by anything (i.e., nothing requires "mail"). Even though I have WITHOUT_SENDMAIL specified and the world was built with that, mergemaster still installs /etc/mail/aliases and /etc/rc.d/sendmail. Is there a way to prevent this other than adding them to IGNORE_FILES in mergemasterrc?
