That was pretty lame.
How did you "rebuilt" sendmail? By issuing `make install` in
/etc/mail? Do you realize the Makefile contained therein is a

If you skimmed it you would have realized adding the 'restart'
target to the make command would have done just what you needed
without taking down the whole box.
