Not sure if this is strictly 4.0 related but since the location of sendmail.cf was `secretly' : ) moved to /etc/mail I thought it might be. I've redone a *.mc file in accord with the information at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#UUCPMAIL To relay through my ISP and masquerade the domain of my ISP mail machine. This all seem to be working OK, but the part of restarting sendmail isn't really explained and being from a linux background I'm not sure of how this is done. Calling `kill -HUP on /var/run/sendmail.pid|awk 'NR == 1' seems to do it. But then sending a messages and watching `tail -f /var/log/all.log' I see the messages is queued but not sent. It sets in que but doesn't get sent out. The stock flag set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf is `/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m' Which looks like it tells sendmail to check the queue ever 30 minutes. Seems kind of lengthy, but is there a better way to have mail sent immediately than changing that flag to `-q1s' (check queue ever second)?
