Why do you want to overwrite the base ...? 1- This will clobber your mailwrapper tools. $ man mailer.conf 2- This will leave still old binaries in the system. e.g. /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail 3- Ther is no support to overite base with mailwrapper present. 4- To really install it in base, you must add "NO_MAILWRAPPER=true" in your /etc/make.conf $ rm -f /etc/mail/mailer.conf $ cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail && make clean install Which is the comability mode for FreeBSD 2.8.x and FreeBSD 3.x releases. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany - [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org],[dirk.meyer@guug.de],[dinoex@FreeBSD.org] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
