This is not needed if you are using FEATURE(`local_lmtp'). To activate sendmail as your default mailer, call the target 'mailer.conf': $ make mailer.conf Your '/etc/mail/mailer.conf' should look like this: # # Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail # sendmail %%PREFIX%%/sbin/sendmail send-mail %%PREFIX%%/sbin/sendmail mailq %%PREFIX%%/sbin/sendmail newaliases %%PREFIX%%/sbin/sendmail You may also need to update /etc/rc.conf. ---------------------------------------------------
