Anyway, this guy's problem is just the location of mailer.conf, which you got right, so he should be fine. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.

Sendmail on current
Firs tof all, I apologize if I am reasking a question, since I haven't done a good job of keeping up on my -current mail. Chastisment humbly accepted. I did check the -current archive on www.freebsd.org and have not seen a mention of this. On my last two make worlds I have had trouble with my system restarting. It hangs on the startup of sendmail. I have replaced sendmail on my system with Postfix. Addtionally, I have the following line in /etc/make.conf NO_SENDMAIL=true The only references to sendmail that I see in the UPDATING file is about the move of the sendmail.cf, which doesn't seem relevant. Since starting this email, I have created an /etc/mailer.conf. If this resolves it, I will be surprised, but feel free to let me know how stupid I am being. Reinstalling the Postfix port resolves this, as you might expect. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

It's sorta relevant. Since starting this email, I have created an /etc/mailer.conf. Should be /etc/mail/mailer.conf. There are two things that would have saved you from this problem (and the chastisement above :-) : 1) Reading your cvs-all mail. 2) Using mergemaster(1). Have fun. Ciao, Sheldon.

Addtionally, I have the following line in /etc/make.conf NO_SENDMAIL=true That's ok : the 'make replace' of the postfix port replace /usr/sbin/sendmail (see the /usr/port/mail/postfix/Makefile) but, now in CURRENT, /usr/sbin/sendmail is a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper (see man mailwrapper). In CURRENT, the command 'sendmail' runs the mailwrapper program which, in turn, runs the correct ones according to /etc/mail/mailer.conf (there's an exemple in 'man mailer.conf'). So, to take advantage of MTA wrapping, don't do a 'make replace' when installing Postfix but rather edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf.
