In particular, the rc.conf variables are different for RELENG_5 and later (because sendmail_enable="NONE" is deprecated; see rc.sendmail). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Patch here: http://people.tecnik93.com/~sam/patch-handbook-mail Notes: - I don't know my way around FDP very well. - Needs review from somebody who knows their way around sendmail and its rc.conf vars. - I used "FreeBSD 5.0-STABLE and Later" as title; perhaps there is a better choice. - Since the warning (see patch) applies to all versions, I moved it to the top of the section and tweaked it a tiny bit. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
