I thank you for your response. All you wrote is quite right. But it is a general rule not to use in the system two sets of slightly different programs with duplicating names. It is a direct way to have problems. For example, all third party scripts should be revised to check absolute pathes, program search results becomes depending of the PATH value, and so on. It is relatively easy to do such revisions on a small home system. But a production server with significant amount of third party software will require a lot of time to do that job. To my mind it will be better to have an options in the port Makefile allowing to replace the sendmail files in place.
I fully understand your doubts, but if you are talking about PATH and the stuff, sendmail from PATH (/usr/sbin/sendmail) is not a real sendmail, it is symlink to wrapper using settings from /etc/mail/mailer.conf.
No application can be confused. Miroslav Lachman _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
