For the last few system builds, I've noticed that the variable in /etc/make.conf NO_MAILWRAPPER=true is being ignored, resulting in my sendmail (different than stock version) being overwritten. This applies to 4.8-STABLE; is this a known issue.

NO_MAILWRAPPER controls the mailwrapper(8), and is not to sendmail(8) installation. If NO_MAILWRAPPER is set, the mailwrapper is just a symlink to /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail. So, what do you see broken here?

But if NO_MAILWRAPPER is also set, the mailwrapper itself is symlinked to the real sendmail binary, so everything works correctly.> At 09:20 AM 5/19/2003 +0300, you wrote: > >On Sun, May 18, 2003 at 10:48:21PM -0400, Forrest Aldrich wrote: > >> For the last few system builds, I've noticed that the variable in > >> /etc/make.conf NO_MAILWRAPPER=true is being ignored, resulting in my > >> sendmail (different than stock version) being overwritten. > >> > >> This applies to 4.8-STABLE; is this a known issue. > >> > >Could you please be more specific?
