Add: "SENDMAIL_CF= myfile.cf" to /etc/make.conf, and the sendmail makefiles will build it from myfile.mc and install it as part of every buildworld.

HEADS UP: sendmail related changes
The following changes have been made in -CURRENT: 1. mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. If you are using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf included with FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine. If you are using a hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check to make sure the F=S flag is set on the Mlocal line. Those with .mc files who need to add the flag can do so by adding the following line to their your .mc file and regenerating the sendmail.cf file: MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl Note that FEATURE(`local_lmtp') already does this. 2. sendmail(8) is now built with STARTTLS support unless NO_OPENSSL is set. 3. The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY commands. 4. Now using sendmail's version of vacation(1). This change should be transparent except for the new options/features available. 5. The sendmail cf building tools (contrib/sendmail/cf) are installed in /usr/share/sendmail/cf.

It also contains new features and bug fixes that are not in the current FreeBSD version. This will take care of PR bin/15227. 2. Copy cf config building tree into /usr/share/sendmail/cf Yes to all three! For #2, we can maybe go a step further.. the README in that directory is somewhat daunting. For example, we could also copy the /usr/src/etc/sendmail directory into /usr/share/sendmail/cf/freebsd or something like that (maybe with a simpler Makefile) and include a few more example config files besides "freefall.mc" that demonstrate how to configure in various scenarios. -Archie ___ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
sendmail related changes
There are some sendmail related changes I would like to make in the next few days. Some may be controversial so I am sending out this mail first. I would appreciate feedback on any of these items. If I don't hear any major objections, I'll go ahead with the changes. 1. Use sendmail's version of vacation sendmail's version of vacation is completely backwards compatible with the existing version. It also contains new features and bug fixes that are not in the current FreeBSD version. This will take care of PR bin/15227. 2. Copy cf config building tree into /usr/share/sendmail/cf I've been getting many requests to provide the cf tree in the installed system so users can configure sendmail without installing the FreeBSD sources. I can't see any reason not to do this. It will also cut down on support issues for sendmail.org. This will take care of PR bin/19790. It can also be used to close PR bin/13759 and bin/19897. 3. mail.local no longer installed setuid root Since 8.10, the open source distribution of sendmail no longer installs mail.local as a setuid binary. To accomplish this, users needed to configure sendmail to call mail.local as root. This is done by a one line configuration tweak. This tweak isn't necessary if the config already uses FEATURE(local_lmtp) as is recommended (freebsd.mc already does this). We (sendmail.org) decided that one less setuid binary on the filesystem was worth the possible support burden for upgrading users. As it turns out, nobody reported any problems. I think we should do the same for FreeBSD's installation. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
