Instead of symlinking /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/sendmail, you could use mailwrapper the way it was designed to work, and leave the sendmail symlink in /usr/sbin to mailwrapper. Then, configure mailwrapper by editing /etc/mail/mailer.conf and pointing mailwrapper to the proper paths. > I'm thinking I want to avoid making mailwrapper?

The links in /usr/sbin will be overriden and you'll probably end up using Sendmail from its default system location instead of what you have now. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
