Even easier than that. Just install the port into /usr/local and then edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf as instructed in the pkg-message file. 4.8-RELEASE already includes the sm-msp mail submission instance, so you can just use your pre-existing rc.conf setup to start up sendmail: no rc.d script required. > also i'm unsure where the ports version will look for its config files, (= ie. > will i need to symlink /etc/mail to /usr/local/etc/mail ?) > pointers to docs just as welcome as full explainations ;)=20 The ports version of sendmail will look in ${PREFIX}/etc/mail for all of the configuration (.cf) files: you'll have to make sure that your =2Emc files reference the correct aliases, virtusertable, access, local-host-names file etc. so that the generated .cf files reference the right places.
