Depends - you may have postfix installed and /etc/mail/* configured to use it
instead...in which case there may not be much need for base's sendmail. Other
than that, I definitely agree with you.

See build(7), particularly the delete-old and delete-old-libs targets. Kevin Kinsey That is really awesome, thanks guys! Yes, /etc/src.conf. Does this look alright for a dedicated FreeBSD server?

It does look like both of us forgot to do the normal "reply-all" so I'm posting this back to the FBSD Questions list. I will mention that not having sendmail, you may break something (but I'm not sure if that particular knob means that there will be no local mailer at all). Cron(8), for example, uses a local mailer to notify you of cronjob output, and having cron work is a Good Thing(tm) in my experience as a sysadmin.

During the latter which you will be prompted to delete the various bits which you no longer require.
