Dear experts,

I am running FreeBSD4.1-stable and sendmail-8.11.0
Just noticed, that
very rarely (once in 2 months, sometime in a few days)
may maillog contains a line like

Aug 26 18:53:58 <mail.info> mailwrapper[30923]: can't open
/etc/mail/mailer.conf, using /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
as default MTA

Emergence of this line does not correlate with upgrades and
reboots of the system, nor with updates of sendmail.

The content of /etc/mail/mailer.conf is:


# $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.2 1999/12/29 18:24:06 peter Exp $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
sendmail        /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
send-mail       /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
mailq           /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
newaliases      /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail


The permissions are as follows:

-rw-------  1 root  wheel  -   316 Mar 31 04:15 mailer.conf

Is this normal and what might be a reason of this?
Thank you for any comment ahead of time.
Sergei
