This wouldn't be a big problem if it didn't actually try to start delivering mail (and failing miserably, at least for me). >How-To-Repeat: Uhh...I'd start by installing the qmail port, and then upgrading FreeBSD. (-: >Fix: Remove spoon from cup. Reinstalling the qmail port after deinstalling it seems to clear things up. Really, I don't know what the right solution is. One big help might be a warning to the effect of "hey, dummy, sendmail is a symlink -- if you use some other MTA, you might make sure to reinstall it before going into multi-user mode." Don't forget rmail, too -- that was the one that bit me (although it is not technically part of qmail). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
