This stops any outgoing mail from working as intended since it hits an (unconfigured) version of the raw sendmail. >How-To-Repeat: Install exim (or any other sendmail drop-in replacement), configure it up in /etc/mail/mailer.conf and do a binary upgrade >Fix: Manually take a backup, and replace file after upgrade. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
