Ok, look there, please: ===> mailstats "Makefile", line 7: Could not find ../../Makefile.inc Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop. And so on.

But this behaviour (does not compile properly) strange to me. BTW, /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail not strong equal sendmail original dist. As example, some pathnames in manuals has changed, sendmail from 2.1.5R patched a bit for more support FreeBSD, etc, etc... If interested, see `diff -ru sendmail sendmail.dist` for more details. -- Igor Vinokurov, JSB "Inkombank"
