Problem with sendmail update
Hi, Hope someone can help. we're stuck trying to update Sendmail from 8.14.3 to 8.14.5 We've made installed 8.14.5 and both the new and old versions seem to be installed and running according to PS. Whatever is starting sendmail is initiating the old version. How can we remove the 8.14.3 version or get the 8.14.5 version to run? Our PCI compliance is failing due to issues with the old version. Help much appreciated, Thanks Mervyn ___ 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
Re: sendmail update
Just going and taking a cursory glance at the sendmail makefile in ports:
.if exists(${DESTDIR}/etc/mail/mailer.conf) ${PREFIX} == /usr
pre-everything::
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${ECHO_CMD} # You can't override the base sendmail this way.
@${ECHO_CMD} # your version FreeBSD use mailwrapper.
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${ECHO_CMD} # Please install with normal PREFIX
@${ECHO_CMD} # and activate the port version with
@${ECHO_CMD} # cd ${PORTSDIR}/mail/sendmail make mailer.conf
@${ECHO_CMD} #
@${FALSE}
.endif
So my understanding, make WITH_WHATEVER_FLAGS_YOU_WANT=yes, make
mailer.conf make install.
That will override the system base.
Anyone else care to chime in here?

If it's just throwing it on the command line, you might want to consider
putting the flags in /etc/make.conf.
But then, how that port/sendmail will interact with the system
sendmail. When re-installing the system, will I have to install the
port again?

sendmail update
Hi, I have 2 questions about the update procedure and sendmail. 1) where is the equivalent of sendmail-x.y.z/devtools/Site/site.config.m4 in FreeBSD installation of sendmail? I need to add some features to the site.config.m4 file to build the version of sendmail I want. So far, I have to rebuild sendmail by hand, independently from FreeBSD, after each system update. 2) I have a patch that I want to apply to sendmail source tree, before I build sendmail. I would like to have that patch applied automatically to /usr/src/contrib/sendmail before it builds. How do i do that?

Sendmail update from ports
On a FBSD 4.2-RELEASE system - I build Sendmail 8.12.8 from the ports collection. It builds and installs just fine. I follow the directions in pkg-message. I set sendmail_enable=no in rc.conf. And because my system is 4.6 I put sendmail_flags=-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1m' Set the sendmail.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and reboot. I see sendmail start as a local package. I see sendmail running as a process. I cannot, however telnet to localhost 25. Connection refused. The one thing that throws me off in pkg-message is the statement about adding stuff to sendmail.mc. I do not have a sendmail.mc file on my sysytem. Where would that live? What am I missing here? Tommy Forrest - KE4PYM - [EMAIL PROTECTED] My two cents: Even my cleaning lady won't do Windows.
