Enable the automatic creation of a certificate (if one does not exists)

and enable the usage by sendmail if sendmail is enabled. Include and document knobs to disable this feature and also set the Common Name of the certificate created. As the certificate is signed w/ a discarded key, it only helps prevent Eve, but not Malory from knowing the contents of the emails. This means that new installs (and people that use the updated freebsd.mc file) will automaticly have STARTTLS enabled allowing incoming email to be encrypted in most cases.

Add a warning regarding localhost-only listening daemons inside jails.

Apparently binding only to 127.0.0.1 inside of a jail actually binds to the jail IP address as well (in effect, bind to all available interfaces in the jail). Submitted by: Helge Oldach MFC after: 1 day pending RE approval

Quoting Peter Wemm, "At great personal risk, touch the sendmail startup

again." As an alternative to sendmail_enable=NONE, solve the boot time problem for non-sendmail users completely by moving all of the sendmail startup code from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.sendmail. The source for that script will be kept in src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail so make.conf's NO_SENDMAIL will prevent it from being installed. A new rc.conf variable, mta_start_script specifies the script to run to start the user's preferred MTA. For backward compatibility, it will default to /etc/rc.sendmail. The specified script is called out of /etc/rc after checking to make sure it exists. A new rc.sendmail.8 man page has also been added which now houses the sendmail_* variable descriptions formerly in rc.conf.5. Use /etc/rc.sendmail in /etc/mail/Makefile to reduce code duplication.
