What you're missing is that /usr/sbin/sendmail as installed during a
``make world'' isn't sendmail.  It's mailwrapper(8).  Although I'll be
adding a "NO_MAILWRAPPER" knob to make.conf, you don't need it.  You
just need to read up on how mailwrapper works.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, since mailwrappper makes those
icky symlinks completely unnecessary. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
