Please see /etc/mail/Makefile: # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # This Makefile uses `<HOSTNAME>.mc' as the default MTA .mc file. This # can be changed by defining SENDMAIL_MC in /etc/make.conf, e.g.: # # SENDMAIL_MC=/etc/mail/myconfig.mc # # If '<HOSTNAME>.mc' does not exist, it is created using 'freebsd.mc' # as a template.
