FBSD release 4.6 has updated the built in sendmail to version 8.12.3. The release notes say. 2.3.1.1 Sendmail sendmail has been updated to 8.12.3. sendmail(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-ID root binary (now set-group-ID smmsp). See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES and /etc/mail/README for more information. With this sendmail upgrade, multiple sendmail daemons (some required to handle outgoing mail) are started by rc(8), even if the sendmail_enable variable is set to NO. To completely disable sendmail, sendmail_enable must be set to NONE. Alternatively, for systems using a different MTA, the mta_start_script variable can be used to point to a different startup script (more details can be found in rc.sendmail(8)). The permissions for sendmail alias and map databases built via /etc/mail/Makefile now default to mode 0640 to protect against a file locking local denial of service. It can be changed by setting the new SENDMAIL_MAP_PERMS make.conf option. The permissions for the sendmail statistics file, /var/log/sendmail.st, have been changed from mode 0644 to mode 0640 to protect against a file locking local denial of service. I installed a virgin FBSD 4.6 from mimi-cdrom and then restored my backup up custom config files on top of it. I also installed the packages of the ports I regularly use from an backup of the packages files I saved. One of those is postfix. Postfix uses the sendmail wrapper to launch, (IE /etc/mail/mailer.conf). When I boot 4.6 I get these log messages Starting standard daemons: inedt cron sendmail Sendmail-clientmqueuesendmail: Illegal option -A Sendmail: Fatal: Usage: sendmail[options] Postfix/sendmail[180]:Fatal: Usage: sendmail[options] Postfix/postfix-script: starting postfix mail system I can send and receive mail so postfix must be running ok. So my questions are, What am I to do to get rid of the boot sendmail messages? Do I still need to use the old sendmail wrapper /etc/mail/mailer.conf for postfix? What is the correct to launch postfix under FBSD 4.6? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
