Just going and taking a cursory glance at the sendmail makefile in ports:
.if exists(${DESTDIR}/etc/mail/mailer.conf) && ${PREFIX} == "/usr"
pre-everything::
@${ECHO_CMD} "#"
@${ECHO_CMD} "# You can't override the base sendmail this way."
@${ECHO_CMD} "# your version FreeBSD use mailwrapper."
@${ECHO_CMD} "#"
@${ECHO_CMD} "# Please install with normal PREFIX"
@${ECHO_CMD} "# and activate the port version with"
@${ECHO_CMD} "# cd ${PORTSDIR}/mail/sendmail && make mailer.conf"
@${ECHO_CMD} "#"
@${FALSE}
.endif
So my understanding, make WITH_WHATEVER_FLAGS_YOU_WANT=yes, && make
mailer.conf && make install.
That will override the system base.
Anyone else care to chime in here?
