/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is a bogus (empty?) file. One way to fix this is:
cd /etc/mail
mv sendmail.cf sendmail.cf~bogus
make
make restart
This happened on one of my -stable boxes lately when doing a upgrade
using buildworld. For some (unknown) reason m4 bombed out and created
an empty .cf file.
I fixed it by doing something similar to what was done above, although
why m4 failed is a mystery
Some patch:

This shouldn't be necessary, since m4 is in the path in buildworld, is

it not? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to run make, cc, or any other

ok...
this was under slightly patched /usr/src/etc/sendmail/Makefile:

Yes, this was attempt to 'make installworld' from NFS-mounted /usr/src and
/usr/obj. So, /usr/src/etc/sendmail/Makefile definitely should define
M4 as /usr/bin/m4.

sendmail: no local mailer
Sendmail has not been working on my system for some time now. I can't say exactly how long, but my guess is that it broke when I upgraded to RELENG_5_0. This is how sendmail is invoked (by default) and it's output. # sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost 451 4.0.0 No local mailer defined: Bad address 554 5.0.0 QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set The same thing happens if I change localhost to 127.0.0.1. I suspect that the second error (554) will disappear when I get rid of the first one (451). Does anyone know why it might be misbehaving like this?

Re: sendmail: no local mailer
I agree. In fact, it was. I only posted to -current after receiving no response for a few days (since I suspected that it might have been related to my upgrade to 5.0). I personally have never messed with sendmail's configuration because on my system it functions only as a local mailer. I guess that may be one reason for proposing that sendmail be moved out of the base system. It has all the power (and the complexity that comes with that power) of a full-featured mailer, yet most machines are not mail servers. Well, anyway, there's my two cents.
