Hi,

as some kind people pointed out, the mta.sh start script in the latest
FreeBSD ports were lacking three important lines for sendmail to work. I
already changed the mta.sh script in the port revision 4.50.15_1 but somehow
the change is not distributed via cvsup. Therefore, until the ports freeze
is over and this is corrected please use something similar to this in
rc.conf if you are using sendmail:


mta_enable="YES"
mta_type="sendmail"
mta_profiles="incoming outgoing submitqueue"
mta_incoming_flags="-L sm-mta-in -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in -ODeliveryMode=queueonly"
mta_incoming_pidfile="/var/run/sendmail_in.pid"
mta_incoming_configfile="/etc/mail/sendmail.cf"
mta_outgoing_flags="-L sm-mta-out -q15m"
mta_outgoing_pidfile="/var/run/sendmail_out.pid"
mta_outgoing_configfile="/etc/mail/sendmail.cf"
mta_submitqueue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q15m"
mta_submitqueue_pidfile="/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid"
mta_submitqueue_configfile="/etc/mail/submit.cf"


Please note the _configfile lines which were missing. Sorry for the trouble.

Kind regards,
  JP
