Even though I had specified NO_SENDMAIL=true in /etc/make.conf, /usr/sbin/sendmail still got overwritten with a link to mailwrapper. This deleted the postfix "sendmail" program, which is installed as /usr/sbin/sendmail by default (non-ports install). Note: I'm not really sure this is "non-critical", since it had the effect of denying mail to users during the troubleshooting of unexpected behavior, but I'll leave it to someone else to reclassify appropriately. >How-To-Repeat: Install postfix. Upgrade (make build/installworld). Check /usr/sbin/sendmail. >Fix: Workaround: "make upgrade" for postfix source. Ideally, however, a NO_SENDMAIL=true would prevent ANY alteration of /usr/sbin/sendmail during installworld. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
