Hai ,

I am using 5.3 release with updated all the ports.

I am facing a problem with sendmail.

# pkg_info | grep sendmail
sendmail-8.13.3     Reliable,....
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sendmail.sh start 
# netstat -an | grep 25
tcp6    0  0  *.25     *.*         LISTEN
tcp4    0  0  *.25     *.*         LISTEN
# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'
220 ....ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.3/8.13.1;

It works fine. But I also found that another sendmail
which is in /etc/rc.d/sendmail

If I do 
# /etc/rc.d/sendmail start

Then this also create a new socket as

#netstat -an | grep 25
tcp4    0  0  127.0.0.1.25  *.*    LISTEN
tcp6    0  0  *.25     *.*         LISTEN
tcp4    0  0  *.25     *.*         LISTEN

If I do again 

# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'
220 ....ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1;

How two sendmail(8.13.1 & 8.13.3) installed in my
system? 
If I remove sendmail-8.13.3 using pkg_deinstall,
pkg_info shows no sendmail. But still I can start
/etc/rc.d/sendmail. 

What may be the problem?

Please help me

Sarav
