There are different options for each instance of Sendmail: $ grep 'sendmail.*flags' /etc/defaults/rc.conf sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server) sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (outbound only) sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" $ So you have to set the sendmail_xxx_flags of the daemon you are using, instead of the global sendmail_flags. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
